Abstract
A systematic review guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) procedure was used to evaluate the assumption that executive functions play a role in the relationship between theory of mind and language abilities in autism spectrum disorder. A total of 141 papers published in English between 2012 and 2023 were selected in databases, and of which 10 articles met inclusion criteria. Results showed that executive functions could be a predictor of theory of mind even when controlling for general language scores and age. However, results on syntactic language were not sufficient to completely validate the hypothesis that syntax could explain the relationship between theory of mind and executive functions in children with autism.
期刊介绍：
Applied Neuropsychology: Child publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in children. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of child patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single-blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
