Is Executive Functioning Real? 20 years of ADHD research says... maybe?
Description
In this episode of The ADHD Skills Lab, Skye and I explore the critical question: is executive functioning even real or is it a poorly defined construct that's been misunderstood for decades?
Curious what's inside?
- What the DSM says about executive function..
- What's the difference between an executive function task vs. executive function measure?
- Some ADHD'ers may not struggle with executive dysfunction at all.
- CTA: If this is you, let us know! I have follow-up questions!
Thanks for being here! Until next time,
Sarah Russell (Podcast Producer)
