Investigating the Relation of Intelligence and Executive Functions in Children and Adolescents with and without Intellectual Disabilities.

ABSTRACT: Despite their separate research traditions, intelligence and executive functioning (EF) are both theoretically and empirically closely related to each other.

The results of our exploratory factor analysis indicated one common EF factor that could be sufficiently integrated into the intelligence model w
