Cognitive control, also known as executive function, refers to a set of mental processes that allow individuals to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks effectively. It plays a crucial role in goal-directed behaviour and helps in managing thoughts, actions, and emotions in complex situations. Cognitive control is essential for everyday functioning, enabling individuals to adapt their behaviour according to changing circumstances.
