Examination of Stimulus Over-Selectivity in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder and Its Relationship to Stereotyped Behaviors and Cognitive Flexibility M. P. Kelly, PhD and P. Reed, PhD Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities 0 10.1177/1088357620943504 D, A structural equation modeling analysis, in which domain general flexibility was introduced as a latent variable, indicates that the pSPL is related to domain general behavioral/mental flexibility and that the smaller GMV of the pSPL in autism would attenuate such flexibility and induce perceptual overstability and cognitive rigidity. Kraft D, Rademacher L, Eckart C, Fiebach CJ. The current study aimed to bridge this gap. 2000 Dec;29(4):479-92. doi: 10.1207/S15374424JCCP2904_3. Impairments in cognitive flexibility have been used to characterize the neuropsychological presentation of persons with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). However, there is a large gap between the day-to-day behavioral flexibility and that measured with these cognitive flexibility tasks. To advance the field, experimental measures must evolve to reflect mechanistic models of flexibility deficits. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. However, the WCST involves various additional cognitive processes besides switching, making it uncertain whether difficulties are indeed due to cognitive flexibility impairments. They were also assessed in cognitive flexibility through Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) and in patterns of social interactions, behaviors, and communication through Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R). 2020 Oct 27;18(10):e3000908. Request PDF | Cognitive flexibility in autism: A social-developmental account | There are important social-developmental contributions to the acquisition … Our objective was to systematically review the sensitivity of cognitive flexibility measures in ASD using quantitative methods employed by meta-analytic statistical techniques. An intervention program of 14 to 21 sessions was established to enhance cognitive flexibility. Corbett BA, Constantine LJ, Hendren R, Rocke D, Ozonoff S. Psychiatry Res. 2021 Jan 15;397:112966. doi: 10.1016/j.bbr.2020.112966. Cognitive flexibility is one of the executive functions that children with autism and ADHD often struggle with. The Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST) is the only cognitive flexibility task that has consistently shown deficits in individuals with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Each of these disorders exhibit varying aspects of cognitive inflexibility. Sometimes these are called “problems with flexibility” or “cognitive and behavioral rigidity.”. Cognitive Rigidity in Autism Cognitive rigidity is often seen in children with autism. Various studies have examined the role of executive functions in autism, but there is a lack of research in the current literature on cognitive flexibility in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Front Psychol. Braingame Brian, a computerized EF‐training with game‐elements, was used. Epub 2012 Aug 11. Share on Pinterest Being bilingual may improve cognitive flexibility in children with autism. The next analysis found that after controlling for child age, gender, and Y1 ToM at the first step, as hypothesized, Y1 cognitive flexibility significantly predicted Y2 ToM scores (see Regression 1, Table 4).Consistent with the mediation hypothesis Y1 ToM did not significantly predict Y2 cognitive flexibility after controlling for Y1 cognitive flexibility (see Regression 1, Table 5). Difficulties with cognitive flexibility may play a role not just in the repetitive behaviors characteristic of autism, but also in language impairment.  |  It also refers to the ability to process multiple concepts simultaneously such as the color and shape of an object or perspectives of republicans and democrats. The Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST) is the only cognitive flexibility task that has consistently shown deficits in individuals with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Researchers and clinicians assume that inflexible everyday behaviors in autism are directly related to cognitive flexibility deficits as assessed by clinical and experimental measures. Moreover, ecologically valid measures are required to be able to resolve the paradox between cognitive and behavioral inflexibility. and cognitive flexibility, when compared to individuals with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, for instance (Geurst, Verté, Oosterlaan, Roeyers, & Sergeant, 2004). Cognitive flexibility refers to the ability to transition thoughts between multiple concepts or perspectives. The Flexible Item Selection Task (FIST) differs from previous cognitive flexibility tasks in ASD research by giving children an abstract, ambiguous rule to switch. These skills continue to develop into adulthood and can have a significant impact on learning. Executive functioning in autism spectrum disorders: influence of task and sample characteristics and relation to symptom severity.

Cognitive, Affective, and Feedback-Based Flexibility - Disentangling Shared and Different Aspects of Three Facets of Psychological Flexibility. defined as the ability to switch one’s thinking (cognition) (or train of thought) as an adaptation to the demands of stimuli The present study analyzed the concurrent and longitudinal relations among cognitive flexibility, theory of mind, and hyperactivity/inattention in a sample of 70 typically developing children ( age = 61.4 months, SD= 8.3 months). Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) often experience enormous challenges in the area of flexibility. As this is the only task characterized by limited explicit task instructions and a high degree of disengagement required to perform the switch, we hypothesized that cognitive flexibility deficits of individuals with ASD might only become apparent in situations fulfilling these requirements. Sept 15, 2010 -- Many of the behavioral signs of autism spectrum disorder ebb and flow throughout childhood, but less was known about the trajectory of cognitive … Crawley D, Zhang L, Jones EJH, Ahmad J, Oakley B, San José Cáceres A, Charman T, Buitelaar JK, Murphy DGM, Chatham C, den Ouden H, Loth E; EU-AIMS LEAP group. It is frequently believed that challenges with flexibility may be related to anxiety. cognitive flexibility KoTA is a set of training tools developed to improve cognitive flexibility in autism. It utilizes theoretical knowledge and insights from research on cognitive training to enable the transfer of trained skills to everyday behaviour. This phenomena is the inability to mentally adapt to new demands or information, and is contradicted with the cognitive flexibility to consider different perspectives and opinions, and are able to adapt with more ease to changes.

As predicted, individuals with ASD made more perseveration errors and had a significantly higher switch cost than typically developing controls, but they performed equally well on the control measures. Cognitive rigidity is one element in a suite of challenging traits. It’s also the brain’s ability to switch from thinking about one thing to thinking about something else quickly. For instance, knowing if there is a simple increase or decrease in connectivity between brain regions compared to healthy individuals, or whether those with autism use entirely different brain regions to implement cognitive flexibility will enable researchers to better design interventions to improve cognitive flexibility … In a randomized controlled trial, children with ASD (n = 121, 8–12 years, IQ > 80) were randomly assigned to an adaptive working memory (WM) training, an adaptive cognitive flexibility‐training, or a non‐adaptive control training (mock‐training).
