Abstract

Metacognition and working memory from executive functions are higher order cognitive processes that undergo steady improvements throughout childhood. They are of great importance for daily functioning in a variety of domains, including academic achievement. Both concepts have been intensively researched, but little literature has attempted to link them theoretically and empirically. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a high prevalence and high heterogeneity, which is identified as early as childhood, causing problems in almost every aspect of the ADHD child's life. In this paper, we will present research data from around the world that link working memory and metacognitive skills to the development or management of ADHD.
