{"product_id":"9781462505371","title":"Executive Functions: What They Are, How They Work, and Why They Evolved","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guilford Publications, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129246761200,"sku":"9781462505371","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781462505371_p0.jpg?v=1763677146","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462505371","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
