Executive functions and self-regulation
TL;DR: It is argued that temporary reductions in executive functions underlie many of the situational risk factors identified in the social psychological research on self-regulation and review recent evidence that the training of executive functions holds significant potential for improving poor self- regulation in problem populations.
