A Descriptive Study on Attention Regulation, Working Memory Updating, and Cognitive Flexibility Among Young Adults

Abstract This descriptive, cross-sectional study examines patterns of attention regulation, working memory updating, and cognitive flexibility among young adults aged 15–25 years. These three core executive functions are fundamental to goal-directed behavior, learning, and adaptive cognition. Data were collected from 200 participants using the Attention Regulation Scale, the Working Memory Questionnaire (Vallat-Azouvi et al., 2012), and the Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (Dennis & Vander Wal, 2010). Descriptive statistics were computed to summarize levels of attentional control, working memory efficiency, and cognitive flexibility across the sample. Results indicated moderate-to-high mean levels of attention regulation (M = 65.2, SD = 11.9), working memory updating (M = 60.4, SD = 12.8), and cognitive flexibility (M = 62.1, SD = 11.1). These patterns highlight the cognitive strengths typical of late adolescence and early adulthood, while providing baseline data for future studies examining executive-function training, educational enhancement, and cognitive interventions. The findings underscore the importance of attention control in supporting higher-order cognitive processes and adaptive functioning.
