Executive Functions: What They Are, How They Work, and Why They Evolved de Russell A. Barkley

Executive Functions: What They Are, How They Work, and Why They Evolved

Autor Russell A. Barkley
en Limba Engleză Hardback – mai 2012
This groundbreaking book offers a comprehensive theory of Executive Functioning (EF) with important clinical implications. Synthesizing cutting-edge neuropsychological and evolutionary research, Russell A. Barkley presents a model of EF that is rooted in meaningful activities of daily life. He describes how abilities such as emotion regulation, self-motivation, planning, and working memory enable people to pursue both personal and collective goals that are critical to survival. Key stages of EF development are identified and the far-reaching individual and social costs of EF deficits detailed. Barkley explains specific ways that his model may support much-needed advances in assessment and treatment.

Recenzii

"For real advances in the field of executive functioning (EF) to occur, we need, first and foremost, a clear definition of the term. Barkley has provided that clarity. He explains what executive functions are, why they are critical to our day-to-day existence, and how they affect society. He justifiably rejects psychometric assessments of executive functions, based on their lack of ecological validity, and instead proposes multilevel assessments grounded in the natural environment. As a clinician working in the real world of people with EF deficits, the fact that Barkley's theory yields logical and applicable strategies for intervention is of great significance to me." - Richard Guare, Center for Learning and Attention Disorders, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA
"With this seminal work, Barkley single-handedly initiates a paradigm shift in our understanding of Executive Functioning (EF). Drawing on fields as diverse as neuropsychology, neurobiology, evolutionary biology, behavioral genetics, anthropology, and philosophy, Barkley achieves a masterful synthesis, culminating in a hierarchical model of EF development through eight stages. Of particular value, the model gives rise to ecologically valid strategies for management of EF deficits and clearly enhances our understanding of ADHD and other conditions in which executive dysfunction is prominent. Highly readable, interesting, even exciting to read, this volume will undoubtedly stimulate and guide EF research and clinical applications for decades to come." - Mary V. Solanto, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, USA

Solanto, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, USA "Barkley develops a new framework for thinking about executive functions by describing them through a biological evolutionary paradigm...He shines a new light on a new path to discovering more about executive functions. Although helping to answer many questions, he leaves much to be discovered, in effect tantalizing and prodding the reader to engage in future research endeavors that might bring us closer to understanding executive functions and what makes us human." - PsycCRITIQUES (Amelia Davis and Mark S. Gold, Vol. 58, No. 4, January 23, 2013)
