About this scale
Executive control functions are those mental functions that coordinate thoughts and behavior. A well known questionnaire to measure these is the DEX, but it is not entirely clear whether the DEX can be used here in the PsyToolkit library (due to copyright). But there is a good alternative, namely the webexec questionnaire (Buchanan et al., 2010) .
