Introduction: Executive functions are delegated to monitor and stop conscious behaviors in the face of various stimuli of daily life. Objective: Analyze the role of Executive Functions in university students through a quantitative correlational study. Method: The research consisted of 238 participants aged 18 to 38 years (Mage=22.35, SD=2.34). As an evaluation instrument, the Clinical Observation Scale was used to Assessthe Third Functional Unit of Luria Theory: EOCL-1. Results: A significant global correlation was obtained between the variables, such as verification with attentional control r=.48, p=.001 inhibitory control r=.44, p=.001, internal regulatory language r=.24, p=.001 and supervision and monitoring r=.36, p=.001 Conclusions: Executive functions are mental skills of high level and greater complexity in the human being, they determine different contexts in which it develops as the university academic.

Executive functions are high-level cognitive abilities that enable individuals to regulate their behavior and thought processes consciously. In the university setting, students must effectively utilize these functions to achieve success in both their personal and academic development. The key executive functions relevant to the university context include: the supervisory attentional system, deliberate emotional regulation, conscious monitoring of responsibilities, behavior verification for learning, task organization, conscious behavior regulation, and decision-making. This dataset comprises 1373 surveys from university students in Ecuador and Chile, aged between 17 and 33 years (Mage = 20.53, SD = 2.34). It includes descriptive statistical values for the sample, item responses, and detailed descriptions of each evaluated variable. This database is designed to facilitate further analysis of the Executive Functions Scale and the role of these cognitive skills in the university environment.
