Developmental trends of hot and cool executive function in school-aged children with and without autism spectrum disorder: Links with theory of mind / Evangelia-Chrysanthi KOUKLARI in Development and Psychopathology, 31-2 (May 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 31-2 (May 2019) . - p.541-556 Titre : Developmental trends of hot and cool executive function in school-aged children with and without autism spectrum disorder: Links with theory of mind Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Evangelia-Chrysanthi KOUKLARI, Auteur ; Stella TSERMENTSELI, Auteur ; Claire P. MONKS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.541-556 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The development of executive function (EF) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been investigated using only “cool”-cognitive EF tasks while there is limited knowledge regarding the development of “hot”-affective EF. Although cool EF development and its links to theory of mind (ToM) have been widely examined, understanding of the influence of hot EF to ToM mechanisms is minimal. The present study introduced a longitudinal design to examine the developmental changes in cool and hot EF of children with ASD (n = 45) and matched (to age and IQ) controls (n = 37) as well as the impact of EF on ToM development over a school year. For children with ASD, although selective cool (working memory and inhibition) and hot (affective decision making) EF domains presented age-related improvements, they never reached the performance level of the control group. Early cool working memory predicted later ToM in both groups but early hot delay discounting predicted later ToM only in the ASD group. No evidence was found for the reverse pattern (early ToM predicting later EF). These findings suggest that improvements in some EF aspects are evident in school age in ASD and highlight the crucial role that both cool and hot EF play in ToM development.

Everyday executive function and adaptive skills in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder: Cross-sectional developmental trajectories / Evangelia-Chrysanthi KOUKLARI in Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 3 (January-December 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism & Developmental Language Impairments > 3 (January-December 2018) Titre : Everyday executive function and adaptive skills in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder: Cross-sectional developmental trajectories Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Evangelia-Chrysanthi KOUKLARI, Auteur ; Stella TSERMENTSELI, Auteur ; Claire P. MONKS, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background and aimsThe development of Executive Function in Autism Spectrum Disorder has been investigated using mainly performance-based executive function measures. Less is known about the development of everyday executive function skills. The present study aimed to identify the developmental patterns of everyday executive function of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder compared to neurotypical controls. The association between executive function and adaptive skills was also investigated.MethodsThe present study used a cross-sectional developmental trajectory approach and data were collected from 57 children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, matched to 63 controls of the same age (7?15 years).ResultsResults showed age-related performance declines in most everyday executive function domains (e.g. inhibition, working memory, planning) in autism spectrum disorder, whereas for executive function emotional control and shift, non-significant differences emerged across age in autism spectrum disorder. Everyday executive function predicted adaptive skills over and above age and IQ, in participants overall.Conclusions and implicationsThese results suggest that several everyday executive function problems increase in adolescence in autism spectrum disorder and that these everyday executive function developmental patterns deviate to a great extent from those of typical development. Shedding more light on the developmental course of all types of executive function processes as well as their association with crucial social outcomes in autism spectrum disorder could contribute to a better theoretical understanding of the heterogeneity of the neurocognitive development in autism spectrum disorder.
