“…Executive function encompasses a set of cognitive skills crucial for the control of behaviour, including focusing attention, planning, remembering relevant recent information, thinking flexibly, and inhibiting impulses (Diamond, 2013;Ferguson et al, 2021). Multiple studies have found that, to different extents, impairments in executive function are present in various neuropsychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia (Haugen et al, 2021;Raffard et al, 2009;Wobrock et al, 2009), bipolar disorder (Cotrena et al, 2020;Koene et al, 2022), substance abuse (Hester & Garavan, 2004;Kim-Spoon et al, 2017), traumatic brain injury (McDonald et al, 2002), and personality disorders (Gvirts et al, 2012;Koudys & Ruocco, 2022). Importantly, poor executive function performance typically correlates with symptom severity and social maladaptation (Drakopoulos et al, 2020;Simon et al, 2003).…”
