"These findings suggest that a variety of pathologies may be related to deficits in the cognitve network underlying executive control." pg. 295
This makes so much sense. Attention is key to literally every single task we perform, with the possible exception of habit-controlled activities. If we lack attention, in the form of any kind of executive control, it's very logical that pathological illnesses would result.
"If the appropriate methods for training attention in young children can be identified, it is possible that systematic training of attention might be an important addition to preschool education." pg. 296
I find it a little disappointing that this was the final stirring conclusion of this chapter. I hope that these revelations about the relevancy of attention to every aspect of life can apply to more than the manipulation of small children's attention. If it really is as important to executive control as the article was saying earlier, wouldn't it be a necessary component and byproduct of any attempt to educate preschoolers?
