Executive attention processes aid in supporting attentional orientating networks as they are viewed as more purified forms of self-regulation that is involved in modulating reactivity as the child matures (Rothbart & Rueda‚ 2005). It is the maturity of interdependent skills that is required for goal-directed activity that involves the use of mental representation of the desired behaviour to guide goal attainment and continuously modifying existing behaviour to direct them towards future goals.

Hybrid cars are designed on running on both an electric motor and an internal combustion system‚ and Electric cars run entirely on electricity without having an internal combustion system. In fact‚ both of these cars contain a rechargeable battery that can be charged externally‚ which helps in reducing the usage of gasoline which can diminish air pollution and save the environment. For example‚ a recent study by Experian Automotive reports that 40% more hybrid cars were sold in the U.S. in 2012 than
