Neural substrates of executive function development in children under three: a mini-review of recent advances
Karla Holmboe
Executive functions (EF) are higher-order cognitive functions, including inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. In 2019, Fiske and Holmboe published a review on the neural substrates of early EF development which mapped what was then known in this field. Much research has been conducted since then, partially spurred by the wider availability of infant-friendly neuroimaging techniques. This has enabled the study of larger and younger cohorts and finer-grained mapping of co
