Uljarevic, Mirko; Frazier, Thomas W.; Rached, Gaëlle; Busch, Robyn M.; Klaas, Patricia; Srivastava, Siddharth; Martinez-Agosto, Julian A.; Sahin, Mustafa; Eng, Charis; Hardan, Antonio Y. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This study aimed to characterize the relationship between insistence on sameness (IS), executive functioning (EF) and anxiety among individuals with "PTEN" mutations and individuals with macrocephalic ASD. The sample included 38 individuals with "PTEN" mutation and ASD diagnosis ("PTEN"-ASD; M[subscript age] =…

Tomaszewski, Brianne; Klinger, Laura G.; Pugliese, Cara E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Self-determination refers to an individual's capacity and opportunities to act as a causal agent in their own lives to make choices, decisions, and set goals. The current study examined self- and parent-reports of the AIR Self-Determination Scale in transition-aged autistic youth (Based on stakeholder preferences, we use identity-first(autistic)…

Fernandez-Prieto, Montse; Moreira, Célia; Cruz, Sara; Campos, Vânia; Martínez-Regueiro, Rocío; Taboada, Maria; Carracedo, Angel; Sampaio, Adriana – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction, executive functioning, sensory-perceptual abilities and behaviour, such as anxious/depressed states, attention problems, aggression, or somatic complains. However, the dynamic relationship between these dimensions remains to be…

Phan, Lee; Tariq, Alina; Lam, Garbo; Pang, Elizabeth W.; Alain, Claude – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Semantic processing impairments are present in a proportion of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Despite the numerous imaging studies investigating this language domain in ASD, there is a lack of consensus regarding the brain structures showing abnormal pattern of activity. This meta-analysis aimed to identify neural activation…

Montgomery, Lewis; Chondrogianni, Vicky; Fletcher-Watson, Sue; Rabagliati, Hugh; Sorace, Antonella; Davis, Rachael – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
One factor that may influence how executive functions develop is exposure to more than one language in childhood. This study explored the impact of bilingualism on inhibitory control in autistic (n = 38) and non-autistic children (n = 51). Bilingualism was measured on a continuum of exposure to investigate the effects of language environment on…

Monteiro, Elissa M. – Psychology in the Schools, 2022
Executive functioning (EF) is an overarching term that encompasses a wide range of neuropsychological processes including inhibition, set shifting, cognitive flexibility, organization, planning, self-monitoring, working memory, following rules, emotional control, and self-regulation that enable physical, cognitive, and emotional self-control.…

Cissne, Mackenzie N.; Kester, Lindsay E.; Gunn, Amanda J. Moffitt; Bodner, Kimberly E.; Miles, Judith H.; Christ, Shawn E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The present study evaluated the hypothesis that the strength of the relationship between executive function (EF) and repetitive behaviors and restricted interests (RBRI) symptomatology is moderated by the degree to which concurrent demands are placed on multiple aspects of EF. An eye movement task was used to evaluate inhibition and task switching…

Mason, Lauren A.; Zimiga, Brandon M.; Anders-Jefferson, Regina; Paap, Kenneth R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Are Autism Quotient (AQ) scores related to executive functioning (EF)? We sampled 200 students of normal intelligence and examined the relationship between AQ scores and: (a) 5 self-ratings of EF, (b) 5 performance-based measures of EF, and (c) 5 types of activities or experiences that are assumed to recruit EF and sometimes enhance EF. Our…

Kenny, Lorcan; Remington, Anna; Pellicano, Elizabeth – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Performance on a single executive function (EF) task (e.g., a card sorting task) is often taken to represent ability on the underlying subcomponent of EF (e.g., set shifting) without accounting for the non-specific and non-executive skills employed to complete the task. This study used a manualised battery of EF tasks to derive individual task…

Tschida, Jessica E.; Yerys, Benjamin E. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Executive function challenges are commonly reported in the home setting for children with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis (hereafter, autism), but little is known about these challenges in the school setting. A total of 337 youth (autism, N = 241 and typically developing, N = 96) were assessed using Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive…

Polyanskaya, Irina; Eigsti, Inge-Marie; Brauner, Torben; Blackburn, Patrick – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This study investigates the role of recursive language and working memory (WM) in second-order false belief skills in Danish-speaking children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; n = 62; 8 females) and typical development (n = 41; 15 females), ages 6-16. Second-order false belief skills correlated with receptive grammar, vocabulary, and age;…

Youth with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) without intellectual disability frequently experience academic problems, in part due to executive functioning (EF) deficits. There are currently no evidence-based interventions targeting academic EF skills (e.g., organization, prioritization, etc.) for middle school youth with ASD. The need is critical…

Executive functions are related to key outcomes. Studies of autistic youth self-report of other nonsocial traits indicate that their insights into their own functioning and internal experiences provide important information that is not captured by their parents' report, but youth self-report of executive function has not been researched in autism.…

Macoun, Sarah J.; Schneider, Isabel; Bedir, Buse; Sheehan, John; Sung, Andrew – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
This pilot study investigated the efficacy of a game-based cognitive training program ("Caribbean Quest"; CQ) for improving attention and executive function (EF) in school-aged children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). CQ is a 'serious game' that uses a hybrid process-specific/compensatory approach to remediate attention and EF…

Gabbatore, Ilaria; Longobardi, Claudio; Bosco, Francesca M. – Language Learning and Development, 2022
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex pathology that includes impaired social interaction abilities. Insufficient attention has been paid to programs specifically devoted to improving communicative-pragmatic skills. Moreover, the majority of studies have focused on children, while programs specifically developed for the adolescents are…
