Christina E. Valaki

Executive functions are cognitive processes that control behavior, and they include, among other: attention control, working memory, cognitive inhibition, planning, problem solving. There are several batteries that assess EF, such as neuropsychological tests (Stroop test), and rating batteries, such as BRIEF(Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function). Both ASD and TD are impaired cognitive control syndromes, but I can't see much relevance in matching them on EF other than generic observations.

Shasha An

Hi Christina, thank you so much for answering my question. The reason I am trying to match ASD and TD on EF is because I'm testing pragmatic items, which have been suggested to be associated with EF, especially in ASD. I'll find out more. Christina E. Valaki
