Reviews
Executive functions are critical for all aspects of development, success in school and in life, and good mental and physical health. Given how important executive functions skills are, this book which explains what executive functions are, how they develop, social and emotional influences on, and consequences of, executive functions, and how executive functions look in atypical populations could not be more timely. * Professor Adele Diamond, PhD, FRSC, FAPA, FAPS, FSEP, Canada Research Chair Professor of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, University of British Columbia * Executive Function in Childhood is a phenomenal, succinct, approachable overview of executive function and its development. Including up-to-date research and practical considerations, this book is a great resource for teaching and learning the basics of executive function and why we should care about it. * Andrew Ribner, University of Pittsburgh * This book gives you a very thorough grounding in what EF is, how it is studied, and the myths, debates and foundations of research in childhood EF. [...] The book is well illustrated and text is broken up into subheadings with thinking points to check your knowledge. A great text for both students and professional practitioners. * Jan Beechey, Dyslexia Guild Librarian, Dyslexia Review vol 34 (2) *
