Burman’s landmark book, Deconstructing Developmental Psychology, criticized the field from three perspectives: decontextualized measurements and depictions of children’s behavior; androcentric biases; and covert political frameworks. In this article, Burman’s analysis is applied to the current state of cognitive developmental research in general, and then specifically with a focus on a hot topic, children’s executive function (cognitive self-control). Suggestions are made for how adopting Burman’s framework to deconstruct executive function research and theorizing can be used to construct an enriched, more complete, account of the development of executive function
