Executive Function Differences in Precrastinators Versus Procrastinators

Poster Session II

Keyword: Decision Making

Abstract: Precrastination, the tendency to immediately complete a task, is described as a cognitive load reduction strategy (CLEAR Hypothesis). While Study 1 does not support the CLEAR hypothesis, Study 2 finds executive functioning differences in precrastination compared to its antipode—procrastination. Further research should examine self-regulation, a subdomain of executive function.
