Description: Executive Functions : What They Are, How They Work, and Why They Evolved, Hardcover by Barkley, Russell A., ISBN 146250535X, ISBN-13 9781462505357, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Barkley (psychiatry and pediatrics, Medical U. of South Carolina) offers clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, and other clinicians working with children, adolescents, and adults, a volume outlining a model of executive functioning. He critiques the limitations of current views, including the lack of consensus and operational definitions, problems with assessment, the lack of a coherent theory, and the question of why humans developed executive functioning, then draws on the concept of the extended phenotype to illustrate a conceptualization of executive functioning as an evolutionary adaptation. He outlines an extended phenotype model and its hierarchical levels (instrumental-self-directed, methodological-self-reliant, tactical-reciprocal, and strategic-cooperative) and how they affect behavior, daily functioning, social relations, and other areas. He examines each level and the related actions, including problem solving, self-restraint, self-motivation, reciprocity, and self-regulation, and how this theory aids in a better understanding of why deficits occur, how they can be measured, and implications for intervention.
