Not sure if it involves supply of executive function , but I’m reminded of Kaj_Solata’s own post to like each other, sing and dance in synchrony . He specifically mentioned military drill as an example.
I suspect that “executive function” as an individual is very different from executive function in the context of a highly collective institution like a military unit.
The collectiveness itself conserves executive function of the individual by making bad decisions very costly. Doing the right thing becomes a no-brainer.
Screw up once, your whole unit is punished. Screw up twice, everyone hates your guts.
Wish I had a study group watched over by a drill sergeant...
