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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSee also Barkley's empirically based, ecologically valid assessment tools: \u003ci\u003eBarkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS for Adults)\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBarkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale--Children and Adolescents (BDEFS-CA).\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRussell A.
