Smith, Elizabeth; Hedge, Craig; Jarrold, Christopher – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2019
Executive function (EF) decline is a consistent early sign of Alzheimer's disease (AD) among adults with Down syndrome (DS), which means that baseline measures of EF for individuals with DS are vital to allow detection of meaningful decline. We developed a framework to extract measures of three core components of EF (memory updating, inhibitory,…

Morrison, Kerrianne E.; DeBrabander, Kilee M.; Faso, Daniel J.; Sasson, Noah J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
