[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 373718, member: 1872"] Fran, I also became interested on EF's because they don't get the press, but underlie so many stumbling blocks. I think EF difficulty is such a disabler of minds! I remember the first time I ever heard of EF's was in Ross Green's book which was recommended on this site. I read those pages over and over and still didn't get it. I have a better understanding of them now, but it took awhile. Allan's post usually have something to do with EF and I keep a folder with EF articles as I come across them. Terry -- interesting in one of those links from Allan -- it said part of the brain (it's an obvious part, but I can't remember which one) is programmed via evolution to go on big dramatic hunts for food. But that part of the brain hasn't evolved with technology to do the "puny" tasks often required today (like heat up a microwave dinner), and so that part of the brain shuts down. I was thinking of that being related to boredom and refusal to do certain tasks, and lack of motivation. [/QUOTE]
