Enabling research into a greater understanding of executive function impairments
Important for nearly every aspect of everyday life, executive function is the cognitive domain that comprises high-level thinking and decision making. Divided into four subdomains, executive functioning can be affected by conditions and interventions in different ways.
Mental flexibility
The ability to transition between thinking about different concepts
Planning
The ability to mentally select an appropriate action to achieve a desired goal
Strategy
The ability to implement strategic thinking for problem-solving
Response inhibition
The ability to suppress inappropriate responses
Our digital cognitive assessments are developed to enable researchers to gain a deeper knowledge of the nature of executive functioning impairments, the conditions that affect them and the lives of the people who are affected by them.
