However, little is known about their complex relationships. In this study, we aim to examine the executive and attentional difficulties related to distinct sensory profiles. We identified sensory profiles with a Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) based on scores on the Short Sensory Profile (SSP) questionnaire in 95 children with ASD aged 6 to 17 years. Executive and attention functions were assessed using the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functions (BRIEF) questionnaire and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale (ADHD-RS). A three-cluster solution based on raw SSP scores identified a "high'', a "medium" and a "low'' SSP profile. We found a significant relationship between executive functions, attentional skills and the global severity of sensory features, reinforcing findings of previous studies in the literature. A two-cluster solution based on normalized SSP (i.e. equalized for the global severity) identified distinct sensory profiles, mainly discriminated by the score of underresponsive/seeks sensation. We found no significant difference between these two clusters for the BRIEF and ADHD-RS related scores. Our study suggests that the heterogeneity of sensory features in ASD may not be explained by differences in executive and attention functions. Future studies are needed to refine the link between sensory features and executive functions in autism.

Short memory-training can improve inhibition functions in children with autism spectrum disorder: Preliminary evidences using an eye-tracker / Simona CALDANI in Research in Autism, 136 (August 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 136 (August 2026) . - 202964 Titre : Short memory-training can improve inhibition functions in children with autism spectrum disorder: Preliminary evidences using an eye-tracker Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Simona CALDANI, Auteur ; Elise HUMEAU, Auteur ; Richard DELORME, Auteur ; Maria Pia BUCCI, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202964 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Memory training  Children  ASD  Memory-guided saccades  Inhibition functions Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often exhibit atypical oculomotor behavior and deficits in executive functioning, particularly in tasks involving inhibition and working memory. Eye-tracking paradigms provide objective markers for assessing these functions. Objective To assess whether a brief memory-based cognitive training can modulate saccadic eye movements and improve executive functioning in children with ASD. Method Fifty-four children with ASD were randomly assigned to a training group (G1) or a control group (G2). All participants completed oculomotor tasks before and after the intervention. These tasks included prosaccades (reflexive responses to peripheral stimuli) and memory-guided saccades (requiring inhibition of reflexive responses and spatial memory). G1 underwent 10 min of visuospatial memory training, while G2 had a 10-minute rest period. The main outcome measures included saccadic latency, anticipatory saccades (indicative of impulsivity), and error rate in memory-guided saccades (indicative of working memory performance). Results No significant change in prosaccadic latency was observed in the two groups. In contrast, the occurrence of anticipatory saccades and error rates in memory-guided saccades decreased significantly in G1 only, while G2 showed no change. Conclusion A brief memory training significantly improved oculomotor markers of inhibition and working memory in children with ASD. These findings suggest that memory training may enhance attentional engagement and inhibitory control in this population.
