这项工作的目的是为理解执行功能与阅读和其他学术成就之间的关系提供一个框架,以促进这一领域未来的工作。在简要回顾了这一领域已有的理论和实证支持之后,我们对生态足迹本身的结构进行了更深入的评价。这是必要的,因为EF对包括科学家在内的任何数量的个人意味着任何数量的事情。回顾几个相关的EF概念,包括我们自己的概念,我们一致认为EF是领域通用的(尽管领域共性的含义是不同的);其他共同之处包括关注控制/管理和目标方向。然而,关于EF是单数还是复数,或者EF是一个或多个事物(S)还是过程(ES)的问题,学者们的共识较少。这些替代方案的讨论集中在对理解EF对重要功能结果的作用的影响上。
The goal of this work is to provide a framework for understanding the relationship between executive function (EF) to reading and other academic achievements to promote future work in this area. After briefly reviewing extant theoretical and empirical support about what is known in this area, we then more deeply evaluate the construct of EF itself. This is necessary because EF means any number of things to any number of individuals, scientists included. Review of several pertinent conceptualizations of EF, including our own, reveals agreement that EF is domain general (although the meaning of domain generality is varied); additional commonalities include a focus on control/management and goal direction. However, there is less agreement on whether EF is singular or plural, or whether EF is one or more “thing(s)” versus process(es). These alternatives are discussed with a focus on the implications for understanding the role of EF for important functional outcomes.
