The concept of executive functioning (EF) occupies a central role in neuropsychological theories of behavior control ( Ferrier, 1886 Luria, 1973 Stuss & Knight, 2002). In the current study we investigated the relation between these constructs, and specifically examined the extent to which they shared common variance at the latent variable level, in a lifespan sample of adults between the ages of 18-90 years old. Historically there have been notable differences in the way executive functioning and working memory has been conceptualized. This executive control mechanism has been conceptualized in different ways, with experimental psychologists typically studying the working memory system ( Baddeley, 1986) and neuropsychologists typically studying frontal lobe, or executive, functioning ( Fuster, 1997). Theories of cognitive control typically include an executive component that is responsible for coordinating goal-directed behavior ( Baddeley & Hitch, 1974 Balota, Law, & Zevin, 2000 Braver, Gray, & Burgess, 2007 Engle & Kane, 2004 Hasher & Zacks, 1988 Jacoby, Bishara, Hessels, & Toth, 2005 Logan, 2003 Miyake et al., 2000 Posner & DiGirolamo, 1998 Shallice & Burgess, 1993). We conclude that tests of working memory capacity and executive function share a common underlying executive attention component that is strongly predictive of higher-level cognition. Controlling for working memory capacity or executive function eliminated age effects on episodic memory, and working memory capacity or executive function accounted for variance in episodic memory beyond that accounted for by processing speed. 97), but correlations between these constructs and processing speed were considerably weaker ( r's ≈. The correlation between working memory capacity and executive functioning constructs was very strong ( r =. Several tests of working memory capacity and executive function were administered to over 200 subjects between the ages of 18-90 years old, along with tests of processing speed and episodic memory. We examined the relationship between these constructs using a factor analytic approach in an adult lifespan sample.
