This paper has two aims. Firstly, it surveys the most recent scientific production about Executive Functions. Secondly, it reflects on its use into everyday teaching practices in educative institutions. For this, we analyze the theoretical developments made by neuropsychology, rehabilitation treatments and stimulation in school and clinical contexts of diverse countries. The development of Executive Functions should be considered one of the main goals of formal mandatory education since it has the responsibility of providing an integral formation of all the members of society and giving the knowledge and skills for the full involvement of citizens and life projects

Keywords : executive functions; rehabilitation; stimulation; intervention.
