The invisible conductor of your daily decisions and behaviors
In short: Executive function is the cognitive engine behind your ability to focus, plan, and resist impulses. This talk explores how these mental processes shape your habits and what you can do to strengthen them.
Cognitive scientist Sabine Doebel examines executive function as a critical component of child development and adult behavior. By understanding the mechanisms that allow us to pay attention and control impulses, we can identify ways to break persistent bad habits and more effectively achieve long-term goals.
The presentation highlights research on how these cognitive skills are developed and managed. It offers practical insights into leveraging executive function as a tool for personal change.
