Executive Functioning & Learning: A Lesson for AP Psychology or Brain Science

Use this lesson packet for your Biological Bases of Behavior and Cognitive Psychology units in A.P psychology or science. Teach them what executive functioning means and how it relates to our ability to learn.

This is part of my Brain Science series. Each "bite-sized" lesson is written to be more fun and engaging than a textbook and doesn't overwhelm students with too many details that go beyond the point of the particular lesson. Smaller chunks make it feel less overwhelming and are easier to remember!

Included in this resource is:

• Link to article that explains executive functioning. Topics covered:
  • Attention (selective and sustained)
  • Self-Awareness/Control
  • Working memory
  • Emotional Awareness and Self-Regulation
  • Mental flexibility
  • Organization
  • Decision-making
  • Planning

• The 10-page pdf includes:
  • 10 Multiple choice review questions
  • Crossword puzzle
  • Word search
  • Answer Keys
