The cognitive profile of individuals with Down syndrome (DS) is known to be characterized by an impaired executive functioning, but inhibition-related processes have not been extensively examined in this setting. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether individuals with DS have any specific or general deficit in inhibitory…

Kelly, Rachel; Dissanayake, Cheryl; Ihsen, Elfriede; Hammond, Sabine – Australasian Journal of Early Childhood, 2011
The role of executive function, specifically inhibitory control and generativity, in symbolic play was investigated in 20 children aged 48-89 months. Assessment of inhibitory control was via the Sun-Moon Stroop task, and generativity was assessed with the Semantic Fluency task, as well as a new object substitution task which required children to…

Brunamonti, Emiliano; Pani, Pierpaolo; Papazachariadis, Odysseas; Onorati, Paolo; Albertini, Giorgio; Ferraina, Stefano – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
Inhibition of inappropriate responses allows to shape the motor behavior accordingly to the context in which a subject acts and is an essential executive function. Inhibition has been poorly investigated in Down Syndrome (DS) patients. We tested, using a countermanding task, the inhibitory control in a group of DS patients and in a group of…

Lanfranchi, S.; Jerman, O.; Dal Pont, E.; Alberti, A.; Vianello, R. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2010
Background: The present work is aimed at analysing executive function (EF) in adolescents with Down Syndrome (DS). So far, EF has been analysed mainly in adults with DS, showing a pattern of impairment. However, less is known about children and adolescents with this syndrome. Studying adolescents with DS might help us better understand whether…
