  • Title: Improving executive function disorders in brain-injured clients.
    Author: Burke WH, Zencius AH, Wesolowski MD, Doubleday F.
    Journal: Brain Inj; 1991; 5(3):241-52. PubMed ID: 1933075.
    Abstract:
    In 1983, Lezak described executive functioning as the ability to engage in independent, purposeful, self-directive and self-serving behaviour. Self initiation, problem-solving and self-monitoring or regulation of behaviour are important components of executive functioning. This paper presents the results of efforts to improve executive functioning in three areas: problem solving, self-initiation and self-regulation.
