Executive functions and risk factors in ASD diagnosis: A perspective from family reports and clinical support levels / Juan CONTERAS VERA in Research in Autism, 131 (March 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 131 (March 2026) . - 202805 Titre : Executive functions and risk factors in ASD diagnosis: A perspective from family reports and clinical support levels Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Juan CONTERAS VERA, Auteur ; Luis ORTIZ JIMÉNEZ, Auteur ; Antonio MARTÍNEZ SÁNCHEZ, Auteur ; Juan Francisco GÁZQUEZ HERNÁNDEZ, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202805 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Executive functions  Family report  Special educational needs  Diagnostic evaluation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study explores the relationship between autism risk history and executive functions (EF) reported by families during the diagnostic evaluation process of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Level 1 and 2. A total of 305 clinical protocols were analyzed between 2021 and 2022, collecting information on developmental history, biomedical, sensory, and communicative factors, alongside EF scores obtained through parent-reported BRIEF-2 and BRIEF-P questionnaires. Results showed significant associations between language and communication difficulties and several EF domains, including inhibition, cognitive flexibility, working memory, and planning. Notably, children classified as receiving Level 1 support—considered to have lower intervention needs—were perceived by their families as having greater EF difficulties within the home context compared to those receiving Level 2 support. This apparent contradiction highlights a potential disconnect between family perceptions and clinical judgment, possibly influenced by contextual factors such as family support strategies or environmental demands. Findings emphasize the importance of incorporating family-reported information in assessments and planning interventions, and suggest that multi-informant approaches may enhance the accuracy of EF evaluations and guide tailored, family-centered support strategies.

Executive Functions and Symptom Severity in an Italian Sample of Intellectually Able Preschoolers with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Giovanni VALERI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-9 (September 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-9 (September 2020) . - p.3207-3215 Titre : Executive Functions and Symptom Severity in an Italian Sample of Intellectually Able Preschoolers with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Giovanni VALERI, Auteur ; Laura CASULA, Auteur ; Eleonora NAPOLI, Auteur ; Paolo STIEVANO, Auteur ; Barbara TRIMARCO, Auteur ; Stefano VICARI, Auteur ; Teresa Gloria SCALISI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3207-3215 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Executive functions  Inhibition  Preschoolers  Shifting  Working memory Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A novel battery (BAFE; Valeri et al. 2015) was used in order to assess three executive function (EF) abilities (working memory, inhibition and shifting) in a sample of 27 intellectually able preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared with 27 typically developing children matched on age and nonverbal IQ. Differences in EF skills were analyzed in participants with distinct ASD symptom severity. Children with ASD performed worse than typical controls on both set-shifting and inhibition, but not on visuo-spatial working memory. Additionally, children with more severe ASD symptoms showed a worse performance on inhibition than children with milder symptoms. These results confirm the presence of EF deficits and highlight a link between ASD symptoms and EF impairments in preschool age.

Executive functions in girls with and without childhood ADHD: developmental trajectories and associations with symptom change / Meghan MILLER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 54-9 (September 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 54-9 (September 2013) . - p.1005-1015 Titre : Executive functions in girls with and without childhood ADHD: developmental trajectories and associations with symptom change Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Meghan MILLER, Auteur ; Fred LOYA, Auteur ; Stephen P. HINSHAW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1005-1015 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder  females  development  longitudinal  executive functions  symptoms Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background We prospectively followed an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse sample of girls with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (n = 140) and a matched comparison sample (n = 88) from childhood through young adulthood to evaluate developmental trajectories of executive functions (EF) and associations between EF trajectories and dimensional measures of ADHD symptoms. We hypothesized that (a) EF trajectories would be similar in girls both with and without childhood ADHD, with the ADHD group showing greater impairment across time; and (b) changes in EF abilities would predict changes in ADHD symptoms across time, consistent with the theory that ADHD symptom reductions partially result from prefrontally mediated EF development. Method Latent growth curve models were used to evaluate development of sustained attention, response inhibition, working memory, and global EF abilities, and associations between EF trajectories and ADHD symptom trajectories. Results Girls with childhood-diagnosed ADHD showed greater improvement across development on measures of sustained attention and global EF, but similar rates of improvement on measures of working memory and response inhibition. Changes in the global EF measure predicted changes in both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms across time, whereas changes in response inhibition predicted changes in hyperactive-impulsive symptoms; associations between changes in other EF variables and symptoms were not significant. Conclusions Findings suggest variability in patterns of EF improvement over time in females with ADHD histories and indicate that EF development may play a role in symptom change.

Executive functions in savant artists with autism / Laura CRANE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-2 (April-June 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-2 (April-June 2011) . - p.790-797 Titre : Executive functions in savant artists with autism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Laura CRANE, Auteur ; Linda PRING, Auteur ; Nicola RYDER, Auteur ; Beate HERMELIN, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.790-797 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Savants  Executive functions  Art  Fluency  Card sort Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although executive functions have been widely studied in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), there have been no direct empirical studies of executive abilities in savants with ASD. This study assessed three facets of executive ability (fluency, perseveration and monitoring) in savant artists with ASD, compared to non-talented adults with ASD or mild/moderate learning difficulties (MLD). Executive functions were assessed in and out of the savants’ domain of expertise: on design fluency and card sort tasks, respectively. The design fluency task suggested a sparing of executive abilities in the savant artists, relative to the non-talented ASD group; an effect not observed on the card sort task. The idea that islets of ability involve functions that are protected from more general cognitive deficits in ASD is explored.

An intranasal herbal medicine improves executive functions and activates the underlying neural network in children with autism / Agnes S. CHAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-6 (June 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-6 (June 2014) . - p.681-691 Titre : An intranasal herbal medicine improves executive functions and activates the underlying neural network in children with autism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Agnes S. CHAN, Auteur ; Sophia L. SZE, Auteur ; Yvonne M.Y. HAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.681-691 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Herbal medicine  Executive functions  EEG  Prefrontal  Anterior cingulate Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Our animal and human studies have provided empirical evidence that a patented intranasal herbal medicine alters brain functions and neurophysiology. In particular, it reduces clinical symptoms and immunological anomalies in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The present study explored whether the herbal formula can improve executive functions and the associated neuroelectrophysiological activity in ASD. Thirty children with ASD were evenly assigned to receive a daily intranasal administration of the herbal formula or no treatment. Their executive functions, behavioral problems, and electroencephalographic activity during an executive control task were measured before and after six months of treatment with the herbal formula. After treatment, the experimental group showed significantly improved inhibitory control, mental flexibility, and planning, which coincided with an event-related elevation in the activity of their prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortices (regions that are critical for executive control of behaviors) as well as reduced daily dysexecutive behaviors. In contrast, the control group showed no significant changes in executive functions or neural system activity. These findings support the administration of the intranasal herbal medicine as a possible intervention for improving executive functions in ASD.
