Executive functions and social cognition develop through childhood into adolescence and early adulthood and are important for adaptive goal-oriented behavior (Apperly, Samson, & Humphreys, 2009; Blakemore & Choudhury, 2006).

Sharifian, Neika; Kraal, A. Zarina; Zaheed, Afsara B.; Sol, Ketlyne; Zahodne, Laura B. – Developmental Psychology, 2019
