Our review examines the current state of the research on hot executive function (EF), as contrasted with cool EF, with regard to the evidence for construct validity. Current theoretical discussions have examined the conceptual overlap among constructs such as hot EF, effortful control, self-control, and self-regulation. We explore this emerging literature with a focus on research questions, tasks, and methods. Finally, we consider the unresolved questions facing the study of hot EF, most notably the difficulty in determining the relative "heat" of a given task based on task content, testing context, and the individual differences among the participants.
我们的综述考察了与冷静执行功能（EF）相对的热执行功能的研究现状，涉及结构效度的证据。当前的理论讨论审视了诸如热执行功能、努力控制、自我控制和自我调节等结构之间的概念重叠。我们聚焦于研究问题、任务和方法来探究这一新兴文献。最后，我们思考热执行功能研究面临的未解决问题，最显著的是难以基于任务内容、测试情境以及参与者个体差异来确定给定任务的相对“热度”。
