Executive functioning, university students, bibliometrics, innovationAbstract
Executive functioning is crucial in the educational field, as it influences the academic and professional success of university students. This bibliometric review aims to explore recent advances in research on this topic, identifying emerging trends and knowledge gaps. To achieve this, a thorough search was conducted in scientific databases, using specific keywords and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected articles come from high-impact scientific journals and were analyzed based on their contribution to understanding executive functioning in students. The results highlight a growing trend towards the use of innovative approaches and diverse methodologies, ranging from the identification of factors that predict academic performance to the relationship between executive functioning and psychological well-being. This study provides an updated view of the state of the art in this field, identifying gaps in current literature and suggesting future research directions to enhance the understanding of executive skills in the university context.
