  ABSTRACT: In recent years, Brazil has managed to increase its economic development. However, this development has not meant improved living conditions for most of the population, and this socioeconomic gap has grown in the Covid-19 period. The family socioeconomic level ends up influencing the access to resources such as health, education, and leisure. These resources are extremely important for cognitive development, especially the Executive Functions (EF). Neuroscientific findings highlight that the Executive Functions (EF) are those that suffer the most from the impact of unfavorable development conditions. The FE is responsible for the ability of self-regulation or self-management and its development represents an important adaptive milestone in the human species. In this study, 80 children regularly enrolled in public and private schools were evaluated, with the main objective of assessing executive functions using the NEPSY-II.
