Description: This review will explore the role of executive functions and the impact they have in facilitating the skills of vehicle operation. Executive functions are critical for the decision-making process, prob-lem-solving, and multitasking. They are considered the primary factors in driving cases where drivers demand to react quickly and adapt to certain situations. Based on the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study aims to investigate, analyze, and categorize higher mental skills and their qualities directly related to driving. The literature review was performed in the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, using the article collection's snowball search technique. The results suggest that key executive functions like working memory and inhibitory control are closely related to risky behavior and driving errors that leads in accidents. This review adds valuable insight by highlighting the significance of them contributing to future research, driver educational programs and technology for improving drivers safety.. Consequently, collecting recent data will contribute to understanding new parameters that influence driving behavior, creating appropriate proposals for future research.
