Abstract
Executive functions are a complex and heterogeneous group of concepts that refer to a set of diverse cognitive abilities such as working memory, cognitive flexibility, planification, reasoning, problem-solving and inhibition. Moreover, decision-making may be described as a pattern that a person uses when he or she is facing a situation where they must lean towards an option: people tend to choose one or another option considering the risks and benefits these options offer. There is evidence supporting that executive functions are associated with the way people make their decisions. The main aim of the present study is to review and update these concepts reporting evidence from the literature on the association between the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects of decision making.
