Abstract：Executive function is a general term for a series of higher cognitive functions, mainly including “cold” executive function and “hot” executive function, represented by inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility, which are directly related to a student’s academic achievement. Previous studies have shown that 3-4 years of age is the first critical period for children’s development of inhibitory control and“hot”executive function. The first critical period of working memory development is 6-8 years old, and the second is 9-12 years old. The age of 7-9 is the first critical period for developing cognitive flexibility and the second for developing inhibitory control. In addition, adolescence is another critical period for developing various components of executive function. Executive function is plastic, and corresponding training in the critical period of development of different components is helpful to promote the development and functional improvement of these components. The new development of brain science is helpful to understand the brain mechanism and development trend of various components of the executive function and provides a more unique approach to intervention based on the executive function of the brain. The combination of various intervention methods is more beneficial to the improvement of executive function and improves the classroom learning effect of students.
