20 years on: Confirmation of P. Anderson's (2002) paediatric model of executive functioning in a healthy adult sample.

ABSTRACT: Executive Functioning (EF) is a construct that encompasses multiple interrelated higher order skills, however, conceptualising this nebulous construct remains challenging. This study aimed to confirm the validity of Anderson's (2002) paediatric model of EF in a healthy adult sample using congeneric modelling.
