I am 32 with Adult ADHD and heres a detailed solution perspective that helped me to fix the problems listed in this video. Executive function issues we have mean we have a library of books (thoughts and ideas) but don't have the bookshelves and library Floorplan (the executive function structure) - sooooo we must realize our ADHD Minds just need to create bookshelves (mindmap structures to help us prioritize and structure our perspectives and responsibilities in a clear manner) - our minds appreciate all information when typical minds discriminate based on perceived importance. Let's use our minds to connect the dots that millions will never connect because they don't see the gold in the perceived garbage in life like us

Social psychology meeting cognitive psychology. Beautiful :)

This is all covered In the book "thinking, fast and slow" by Daniel kahneman . I believe the term executive function is actually what Daniel refers to as System 2. He spoke about similar experiments too.

I can't get enough of this. I read a book with a similar topic, and I couldn't get enough of it. "Unlocking the Brain's Full Potential" by Alexander Sterling
@Anesthesiapookie123
I learnt a lot of executive function , especially planning ahead, scanning road, watching mirrors etc. literally and after 10 years, I came to know I m ADHD. driving really helped me so well

This talk is all over the place. What's the take away? Our environment and peer group influences our thinking and behaviour? Wow, what a revolutionary insight.
@taisenscoolstuff732
This is one thing im having trouble with. Brraking bad habits to truly achieve my goals.
@Nichole8609
I wonder how these types of tests could help those who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. They may seem simple to those who don't have it but for those who do and struggle with the function of multitasking, it can be very difficult.

I know a kid, around 18 or 19 years old, who works with an Executive Function Coach. Apparently, he has some issues with his executive function, and his coach is with an organization that works with people with these issues. I felt bad for the kid because even with the help of his coach, he was unable to pass a college course he enrolled in. He didn't show up to class 50% of the time and rarely did his homework. He's a bright kid, too.
@lowzhao
I failed so hard at executive function, that I can't even finish the video without turning to other tabs.

There's a breakdown when those "symbols of waiting" in society can be faked: neck deep in car/home loans and credit, doctored social media photos, liposuction, plastic surgery all to fake a brand/image to everyone. We see it it my city all the time and people open up in certain support groups (to keep it private) about their debt or relational problems because of the pressure to fabricate an image of high social status. I have 2 cars: a new car and a 2006 car that looks fair but it is fully paid off and runs great. I see a huge difference in how people behave around me when I drive the older one so the pressure by peers to fake it is there.
@HackToonz
Executive function skills are vital in this world. Thanks for explaining!
@mcmjr405
Focus is a skill like many others. That being said, there are ways to improve it.

When my second son was born the pediatrician noticed I fit certain criteria in “artistry” and sent me here. It really was a beautiful conversation.
@shawnladd5440
I skipped to the last two minutes of this, and that is all you need to know about my executive function #adhd
@WonderTracks
This is truly interesting, but it misses a big thing here. It doesn't invalidate the message completely but it really misses something big. Poor executive functions begins earlier than your friend group. Childhood. Growing up in a household where a parent suffers from: mental disorser/alcohol or drug abuse/general bad parenting w/ neglect. This will put the children on the path of feeling connectedness with the group with poor executive function at a truly early stage. And there you have it. I'd say it's 50% parenting/early years and 50% peer pressure (Sabine Doebel's example). On a similar note: They did tests on Vietnam military personel who abused substances. They wanted to see whom of these vets were still abusing and who weren't when they were back in the US again. The answer? Veterans were much less likely to no abuse drugs If they had a safe and stable childhood. Context is everything.
@WestOfEarth
This is helpful info, but I would have liked to learn more about how to improve it. Do these techniques work for those who have executive dysfunction from ADHD, depression, or schizophrenia?
@Desimere
I'm horrible at this kind of task switching and extremely absent-minded, forgetting all my meetings and such, all those things. Being distracted all the time, not remembering any facts like people's names and such. All of it. But I have extremely strong willpower. I'm like one of those people who could saw off their own leg if it got stuck under something in a forest for several days. (this didn't happen) I can delay gratification indefinitely if I decided it so. I can push myself to the levels of stress where I get physically sick. I can push myself to do things that give me emotional scarring without even noticing that I'm pushing myself too hard (These things have been happening since my childhood) So I am quite doubtful that executive function is responsible for both aspects. Otherwise, how could I be at such opposite extremes in these things?
