Gaze Cueing of Attention (2007, background): “For example, theory of mind may not have developed fully (Baron-Cohen, 1989), emotional systems may be disrupted (e.g., the amygdala, Baron-Cohen et al., 2000), or abnormal function of the frontal lobes may lead to executive dysfunction (Hill, 2004).”
Executive function deficits in autism spectrum disorders and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: examining profiles across domains and ages. (2006, background): “One of the most influential cognitive accounts of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) 1 in recent years has been the suggestion that the social and non-social difficulties may spring from deficits in so-called 'executive functions' (see, for review, Hill, 2004; Ozonoff, 1997).”
The development of executive function in childhood (2008, neutral): “…in a range of developmental disorders such as autism (Geurts, Vertie, Oosterlaan, Roeyers, & Sergeant, 2004; Happé, Booth, Charlton, & Hughes, 2006; Hill, 2004; Ozonoff, South, & Provencal, 2005; Pennington & Ozonoff, 1996), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (Barkley, 1997; Geurts et al.,…”
Cognitive theories of autism (2007, methodology): “Researchers have arguably been able to free themselves from the requirement for this causal relation in theory of mind tasks by changing the name to mindblindness (e.g., Baron-Cohen, Golan, Wheelwright, & Hill, 2004; Golan & Baron-Cohen, 2006).”
Executive function in preschoolers: a review using an integrative framework. (2008, background): “This would perhaps lead to preservation of EF skills that rely less heavily on attention, such as holding information in mind or simple response inhibition, a pattern for which there is some evidence (Bryson, Landry, & Wainwright, 1997; Hill, 2004).”
Planning in young children: A review and synthesis (2011, background): “Such an interpretation would allow for planning to remain intact in the presence of other EF deficits, and for variability within a given population if it is accepted that (e.g.,) children with autism themselves vary in terms of severity and profile of EF problems (Hill, 2004; Pellicano, 2010a).”
Commonalities and Differences in the Research on Children’s Effortful Control and Executive Function: A Call for an Integrated Model of Self‐Regulation (2012, positive): “…1996; Willcutt, Doyle, Nigg, Faraone, & Pennington, 2005) and autism spectrum disorders (e.g., Geurts, Verté, Oosterlaan, Roeyers, & Sergeant, 2004; Hill, 2004; Ozonoff, Strayer, McMahon, & Filloux, 1998) EC has been positively related to sympathy ⁄ empathy and prosocial behavior…”
Asperger syndrome (2019, background): “The neuropsychological literature on autism is vast, but broadly speaking falls into one of three areas: that pertaining to (1) theory of mind [5], (2) executive function [40] or (3) central coherence [37].”
Do children with autism use inner speech and visuospatial resources for the service of executive control? Evidence from suppression in dual tasks. (2010, background): “…ToH is an executive task that is related to visuospatial planning ability and goal management, and is widely used in studies of autism whereby significant group differences in task performance are routinely reported (e.g. Hill, 2004; Hughes, Russell, & Robbins, 1994; Pennington & Ozonoff, 1996).”
Brief Report: Further Evidence for a Link Between Inner Speech Limitations and Executive Function in High-Functioning Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (2014, background): “…individuals (e.g., Baddeley et al. 2001; Whitehouse et al. 2006) has led researchers to begin investigating the possibility that limitations in inner speech may account, at least in part, for the well-established executive impairments in autism spectrum disorder (ASD; for a review, see Hill 2004).”
Executive function and the promotion of social–emotional competence (2006, background): “One might speculate, however, that given the deficits in EF that appear to underlie many characteristic behaviors of children with autism (e.g., rigidity, perseveration, and repetitive behaviors; Hill, 2004), a consideration of EF in these programs will enable interventionists to better understand t”
Inner speech is used to mediate short-term memory, but not planning, among intellectually high-functioning adults with autism spectrum disorder (2012, background): “If so, a relative lack of inner speech use by individuals with ASD could explain the deficits in executive functioning that are frequently observed among people with ASD (Hill, 2004).”
Executive function predicts school readiness in autistic and typical preschool children (2017, background): “performing the same action) and difficulties switching flexibly between response sets (Hill, 2004; Kenworthy, Yerys, Anthony, & Wallace, 2008; Leung & Zakzanis, 2014), were once thought to play a primary role in the development of autistic features (Damasio & Maurer, 1978; Ozonoff, Pennington, & Rog”
Cognitive flexibility in autism spectrum disorder: Explaining the inconsistencies? (2011, background): “These inconsistencies might be due to differences in participant characteristics like age, IQ, and co-occurring disorders (Geurts et al., 2009; Happé, Booth, Charlton, & Hughes, 2006; Hill, 2004; Russo et al., 2007).”
