“Why is he so unmotivated?!”
The Impact of Anxiety on Executive Function, Attention, & Learning
Motivation is an often misunderstood construct. While we often assume it is something individuals have willful control over, in fact, motivation is a highly complex self-regulation skill that first relies on the development of other, more foundational regulatory processes, including emotional management. Unfortunately, garnering motivation in students has become increasingly challenging as they now contend with significantly higher rates of anxiety than ever before. This presentation will discuss the impact of anxiety on a student’s cognitive resources, such as executive function and attentional control. It will also address how these challenges impact academic, social, and emotional functioning. Methods for better understanding the “unmotivated” student and assessing their relative challenges will be shared. In addition, ways to support the development of self-regulation skills to bridge school and home will be provided.
Presenter: Angela Currie, PhD
