Executive functions are higher-level cognitive control functions supporting the flexible adaptation to changing environmental demands. They include abilities such as updating, shifting, and inhibition, which are subject to significant age-related changes. These age differences are associated with age-related changes in the neural substrate supporting executive processes.
