Executive functions and education are closely connected. These mental processes—such as working memory, cognitive flexibility, and self-regulation—enable students to plan, maintain attention, manage information, and adapt their thinking during learning.
From a cognitive science perspective, academic success depends not only on knowledge but also on how effectively learners direct their mental resources. Understanding executive functions can therefore inform teaching practices, classroom environments, and student support.
