This phenomenon can be explained by the major scientific perspectives associated with the study of these high-level control processes. In fact, EF are acknowledged as playing a decisive role in approaching child's psychological development in the broad sense. Research in this field has gradually led to the development of integrative theoretical frameworks and the implementation of close functional relationships between EF and other essential psychology concepts. The clinical definition of EF disorders through several pediatric settings has also progressed, while psychometric tests and/or assessment tools have been widespread and have become diversified. Despite this significant progress, several shortcomings are to report, either in terms of theoretical modeling of typical development, clinical expertise or assessment. Based on these findings, complementary avenues of research are proposed in this paper. They are intended to provide forward-looking expectations that are likely to improve knowledge about child neuropsychology of EF in the next few years.
