A widespread mantra uttered by the majority of executive function (EF) scholars since Teuber (1972), claim the unity and diversity of the concept of EF, the search for an integrated account of the nature of EF has been as elusive as the search for its definition (Goldstein and Naglieri, 2013; Wasserman and Wasserman, 2013)
Cognitive functions appear like faculties, underpinned by a modular neural substrate in which the postulated EF come into sight in a more or less stable correspondence with distinct brain networks in which one is the seat of an homuncular central control (Uttal, 2001)
