Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The operations described in the question, such as inhibition and planning, are all part of executive function, which refers to a set of cognitive processes involved in goal-directed behavior. These processes are important for flexible, future-oriented behavior and may also be connected to theory of mind development. Option A, operational thought, refers to Piaget's theory of cognitive development and is not directly related to the question. Option B, instrumental activities, refers to daily living activities performed by an individual such as grooming, dressing, and shopping but this is not related to the question. Option D, intuitive reasoning, refers to the ability to use past experiences to make quick decisions in familiar situations and is not directly related to the question.
