executive functions and cognitive control
Executive functions refer to a set of mental abilities that involve planning, organizing, and controlling behavior to achieve goals. Cognitive control, on the other hand, refers to the brain's ability to regulate and direct cognitive processes, such as attention, working memory, and decision-making. In essence, executive functions and cognitive control are the brain's way of managing and guiding our thoughts, actions, and behaviors to accomplish desired outcomes.
