Research on the executive function of left-behind children in urban primary schools and its countermeasures

Abstract

Executive function (Executive Function) is also known as cognitive control (cognitive control) or executive control (Executive control), in the late 19th century, Harlow put forward the theory that "prefrontal damage can lead to loss of planning function", executive function is considered equivalent in cognitive abilities mediated by the prefrontal cortex (Harlow, 1993). Numerous studies have found that executive function plays an important role in children's lifelong development: such as physical and mental health, academic achievement, family happiness, interpersonal relationships, etc.Impaired executive functioning is closely associated with learning disabilities, substance abuse and addiction, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, depression, obsessive-compulsive behavior, and schizophrenia[1].
