Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The behaviors described, including difficulty with concentration, multitasking, and planning, are all related to executive functions. These are higher-level cognitive processes that allow individuals to regulate their behavior, make decisions, and plan and organize their actions. Sensory motor abilities, academic functions, and daily routines are not directly related to the behaviors described.
