自闭症儿童执行功能研究述评

A Review on the Executive Function of Children with Autism

执行功能作为发展心理学的研究热点,为自闭症的理论研究与实践提供了新思路。自闭症儿童执行功能研究发展较快,在抑制能力研究、思维灵活性研究和工作记忆研究等方面取得了一定成果,但已有研究也存在诸多争议,主要表现在自闭症儿童是否存在抑制能力缺陷以及抑制能力缺陷的具体表现两个方面。

Executive function, as the research hotspot of developmental psychology, provides a new perspective for the theoretical research and practical work of autism. Research on the executive function of autistic children has~ developed rapidly with some achievements made in the researches on inhibitive ability, thinking flexibility and working memory.
