Effectiveness of the University Executive Network-Training Program (NExT-U) on executive functions in university students

The study introduces the University Executive Network-Training Program (NExT-U), which is designed based on the specific needs of university students. Executive functions such as working memory, cognitive flexibility, and inhibitory control are critical for academic success, yet most EF training research has focused on children, leaving young adults understudied. The program was tested on Cuban university students, and the paper outlines its objectives and methodology. Results, if reported, would indicate whether a tailored, needs-based intervention can effectively enhance EF in this population. This could inform broader educational strategies for improving student outcomes in higher education.
