The unity and diversity of executive functions across adulthood in a diverse Brazilian sample with varying educational attainment

2026-02-28

Abstract excerpt

<p>Executive functions (EFs) are a set of cognitive abilities associated with many social and clinical outcomes which are believed to be sensitive to culture, age and educational attainment. Yet, theoretical models of EF and tasks used to measure them were developed mainly for highly educated young adults from developed countries. Here we assessed EFs in a diverse cohort from a rural town in Brazil (Baependi Heart...
