Associations of Physical Activity and History of Sports Participation with Subjective and Objective Measures of Executive Functioning in University Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Madeline M. Doucette; Juan Pablo Sánchez Escudero; Ryan E. Rhodes; Mauricio A. Garcia-Barrera – Journal of American College Health, 2025
This study examined how physical activity and history of sports participation affect subjective and objective executive functioning in university students. A total of 215 university students aged 18-25 (81% female) completed a virtual assessment of executive function. The correlates were age, sex, physical activity, and history of sports…

Brief Report: An Exploration of Cognitive Flexibility of Autistic Adolescents with Low Intelligence Using the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lung, Stephanie Lock Man; Bertone, Armando – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Cognitive flexibility (CF) is the ability to shift between concepts or rules. Difficulty with CF is associated with autism (i.e., ASD) as it contributes to repetitive behaviours. However, little is known about CF skills of autistic adolescents with low intelligence. This study uses the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST) to assess the CF of 36…

Profiling Planning Skills and Cognitive Flexibility of Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Preliminary Results from an Exploratory Service-Based Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Di Sarro, Rita; Di Santantonio, Anna; Desideri, Lorenzo; Varrucciu, Niccolò – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2022
Background: Executive functions (EF) impairments have long been observed in children and youths with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Until very recently, little attention has been paid to examine EF profiles of adults with ASD. Given the importance of EF to cope with the demands of daily life and participate in society (e.g. maintaining an…

Direct and Indirect Effects of Inhibition and Flexibility to Reading Comprehension, Reading Fluency, and Decoding in Spanish
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Escobar, José-Pablo; Rosas Díaz, Ricardo – Reading Psychology, 2023
This research aims to evaluate the predicting role of executive functions, specially inhibition and flexibility, in reading comprehension. Participants were evaluated with inhibition and flexibility measures in first- grade, and later in third- grade their reading comprehension, oral and silent reading fluency, as well as their decoding skills…

Longitudinal Predictions between Executive Function and General and Specific Psychiatric Problems in School-Age Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Zhao, Gai; Zhang, Haibo; Hu, Mingming; Wang, Daoyang; Wang, Yanpei; Pan, Zhiying; Wang, Yao; Tao, Sha – Developmental Psychology, 2023
This study examined the longitudinal associations of various executive function components with subsequent psychiatric problems in Chinese school-age children. Data from 1,639 children (44.36% girls) ages 6-13 years were drawn from the Children School Functions and Brain Development project. Executive function components were assessed by the…

Different Cognitive Mechanisms for Process-Open and Process-Constrained Problem Solving
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wang, Li; Zeng, Jieying; Ran, Xiaomeng; Cui, Zhanling; Zhou, Xinlin – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
Mathematical problems can be divided into two types, namely, process-open and process-constrained problems. Solving these two types of problems may require different cognitive mechanisms. However, there has been only one study that investigated the differences of the cognitive abilities in process-open and process-constrained problem solving, and…
