Executive Function is a concept in neurobiology that describes a human being's ability to plan flexibly and organize their thoughts. These are some tests we used to measure that. Trail Making is the test I mentioned earlier, which is timed. CCT is a memory test. Three of these were affected by alcohol use in the first trimester, and one by alcohol use in the third trimester.
