Question

Fernando is able to process more incoming information than he could when he was younger. He has learned to repeat information to himself, practice writing things down, and create stories about new information. His understanding reflects which dimension of executive function?

Answer 1

Answer: working memory

Explanation:

The human brain contains both the automatic system, which controls around 80% of our actions and the executive system, which manages the remaining 20% and needs a deliberate regulatory effort.

The executive function includes verbal working memory and non-verbal working memory that determine how much effort and what kind of activities are needed to adjust the way the brain works automatically.
