The vulnerability of executive functioning: The additive effects of recent non-restorative sleep, pain interference, and use of expressive suppression on test performance.

Conclusion: Expressive suppression, pain interference, and non-restorative sleep share some overlap with one another and with depression, but nonetheless have an additive negative effect on EF performance beyond depression. Quantifying these transient contextual factors may improve the accuracy of EF assessment and, by extension, the utility of EF measures in predicting daily functioning. These transient contextual factors also represent targets that, if better managed, may reduce EF lapses in daily life. PMID: 31805814 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
