Results: The secure attachment could be could be associated to the optimal executive performance; particularly the ability to develop consecutive and inverse sequences, maintaining partial results in work-memory, interference inhibition, planification of goal oriented actions, performance in uncertain conditions and the analysis of benefits-risk actions in order to obtain the highest earnings as possible.
