Age-related change in executive function: developmental trends and a latent variable analysis.
TL;DR: The results suggest that EF component processes develop at different rates, and that it is important to recognize both the unity and diversity ofEF component processes in studying the development of EF.

Inhibition and impulsivity: Behavioral and neural basis of response control
Andrea Bari,Trevor W. Robbins +1 more
TL;DR: This review will review the current models of behavioral inhibition along with their expression via underlying brain regions, including those involved in the activation of the brain's emergency 'brake' operation, those engaged in more controlled and sustained inhibitory processes and other ancillary executive functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impulsivity and Inhibitory Control
TL;DR: This article found that impulsive people respond more slowly to signals to inhibit (stop signals) than non-impulsive people when they hear a stop signal, and that the delay between the go signal and the stop signal was determined by a tracking procedure designed to allow subjects to inhibit on 50% of the trials.

Individual differences in executive functions are almost entirely genetic in origin

TL;DR: A multivariate twin study of 3 executive functions (inhibiting dominant responses, updating working memory representations, and shifting between task sets), measured as latent variables, examined why people vary in these executive control abilities and why they are correlated but separable from a behavioral genetic perspective.

Executive functions and achievements in school: Shifting, updating, inhibition, and working memory.
TL;DR: Assessment of scholastic attainment, shifting, updating, inhibition, and verbal and visuo-spatial working memory in 11- and 12-year-old children found domain-specific associations existed between verbal working memory and attainment in English, and between visuo -spatialWorking memory and achievement inEnglish, mathematics and science.
