Abstract :
[en] This paper aims to [1] review the main studies that have examined the factorial organization of executive
functions, and particularly those relative to inhibition, flexibility, and working memory during early and
middle childhood, and [2] present the executive tools that are mainly used in clinical settings with children.
Most of the studies have shown evidence of a fractionation of executive functions in childhood.
Moreover, some of these studies suggest a progressive and specific differentiation of these processes during
development. Specific and adequate tools are therefore necessary to assess executive processes in clinical
settings.
