Autor: Stella Tsermentseli, Evangelia-Chrysanthi Kouklari

Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at risk for high stress levels. Multiple child factors have been identified as predictors of stress in parents of children with ASD, but factors associated with stress in parents of children

Publikováno v: Child Neuropsychology. 24:1088-1114

The development of executive function (EF) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has only been investigated using "cool"-cognitive-EF tasks. Little is known about the development of "hot"-affective-EF and whether it follows a similar developmental pathwa

Background The association between Executive Function (EF) and Theory of Mind (ToM) in Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been mainly investigated using false belief tasks, whilst less is known about the EF effect on other ToM facets. Furthermore, th

Hot and cool executive function and its relation to theory of mind in children with and without autism spectrum disorder

Autor: Claire P. Monks, Evangelia-Chrysanthi Kouklari, Trevor Thompson, Stella Tsermentseli

Previous research has clearly demonstrated that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) involves deficits in multiple neuropsychological functions, such as Executive Function (EF) and Theory of Mind (ToM). A conceptual distinction is commonly made between coo
