Resumo: Despite relative consensus on the existence of three basic executive functions (EF) (inhibition, working memory and cognitive flexibility) there is narrower knowledge on its organization and contribution to task solution. The study tested different theoretical models about the structure and composition of EF. The correlation matrix of Miyake et al. (2000), which evaluated university students in a set of 15 EF tasks, was adopted. Model 1 displays a general factor and specific components. In model 2, the basic components are grouped under a general EF component and, in model 3, the working memory and inhibition components are hierarchically more basic than flexibility. Model 2 showed a better fit to the data. A fourth latent variable was significant and contributed to two tasks. Our findings support a hierarchical model, i.e., a general EF factor and specific components. The comparison of models is a relevant strategy for their understanding in neuropsychology.

El estúdio probó diferentes modelos teóricos sobre la estructura y composición de las FE. Se utilizó la matriz de correlación de Miyake et al. (2000), que evaluó universitarios en 15 tareas de FE. El modelo 1 demostró un factor general y constituyentes específicos. Em el modelo 2, los componentes básicos se agrupan bajo un componente general de FE, y, en el modelo 3, los componentes de memoria de trabajo y de inhibición son jerárquicamente más básicos que la flexibilidad. El Modelo 2 mostró un mejor ajuste a los datos. Una cuarta variable latente fue relevante y contribuyó a dos tareas. El estudio sostiene un modelo jerárquico, es decir, un factor general de FE y componentes específicos. La comparación de los modelos es una estrategia relevante para la comprensión de estos en neuropsicología.Apesar de relativo consenso acerca da existência de três funções executivas (FE) básicas, inibição, memória de trabalho e flexibilidade cognitiva, há menor conhecimento sobre sua organização e contribuição à solução de tarefas.
