Abstract

The executive functions that provide efficient neural control are essential for purposeful, planned, systematic activity, necessary for intelligent behaviour, and for achieving superior performance. At the same time, however, out-of-the-ordinary solutions are often due precisely to out-of-the-ordinary executive functions. Different patterns of appropriate neural networks may be beneficial in different situations, but there is a minimum below which dysfunction is overly significant and becomes an obstacle to the development and translation of talent into performance.
