Lehigh Psychological Services: Executive Functions & ADHD Executive Functions is a term used by psychologists and related neuroscientists to describe a unique set of mental functions. Research has demonstrated that these functions are performed by the prefrontal lobes of the cerebral cortex, in conjunction with subcortical regions of the brain (limbic system). It is only within the last decade that executive functions have come to be fully appreciated for their impact on cognitive and emotional functioning, and more specifically, cognitive inhibition and initiation, self-regulation, and motor output. In general, executive functions are a collection of related, yet distinct abilities that provide for intentional, goal-directed, problem-solving action. Executive functions are conceptualized as metacognition in the sense that they orchestrate numerous subdomains of thought and action.
