Definición

  • Definition The executive function of self refers to the internal capacity to choose and to direct one's own behavior. Although behavior undoubtedly is shaped by forces outside of one's control, including genetics, cultural norms, and happenstance, some behavior is consciously intended and therefore shaped in part by the person.
