الوصف: International audience ; Objectives: Understanding the factors that lead to relapse is a major challenge for the clinical support of smoking cessation. Neurocognitive abilities such as attention, executive functioning and working memory, are possible predictors of relapse and can be easily assessed in everyday clinical practice. In this prospective longitudinal study, we investigated the relationship between pre-smoking cessation neurocognitive performance and relapse at six months in a sample of patients being treated for their tobacco dependence.Methods: 130 tobacco consumers were included in the study. They completed a comprehensive neuropsychological and clinical assessment before smoking cessation. The targeted abilities were intelligence, inhibition, shifting, working memory updating, verbal fluency and decision-making.Results: The rate of tobacco relapse at 6 months was 58%. Logistic regressions were used to assess which variables best explained relapse. None of the neuropsychological tests was a significant predictor of relapse at either 1, 3 or 6 months, either alone, or controlling for other covariates acting as significant predictors of relapse.Conclusions: Common neuropsychological tests, even those specifically targeting executive functioning such as inhibition, are not useful predictors of the success of a smoking cessation program in a clinical setting. Other variables, such as motivation to quit smoking or the presence of comorbid depression or anxiety disorders, appear to be more useful predictors of relapse.

مصطلحات موضوعية: Executive functioning, Nature kindergartens, Self-regulation, Working memory, Cognitive flexibility, Children
الوصف: The Casa da Mata Program (PCM), an educational program within the Limites Invisíveis Project, is aimed at children aged three to six and seeks to raise awareness of the importance of nature spaces in children's learning, development, and well-being. Participation in the PCM is voluntary, and the participants are children attending three kindergartens in the city of Coimbra. The literature highlights the proliferation of educational institutions that have adopted the methodology of Nature Kindergartens, such as PCM, and reports their tangible benefits, including the development of autonomy, increased confidence, and even enhancement of children's cognitive abilities, among others. The study employs a quasi-experimental design, with the following objectives: i) to analyze the impact of extended and systematic nature experiences on the executive functioning skills of preschool children attending PCM, and consequently, identify the influenced skills; and ii) to provide evidence-based recommendations for educators and parents regarding the potential benefits that nature education may have on the development of executive functioning skills in preschool children. The study included a total of 49 children aged three to six years, with two experimental groups and a control group. Executive functions were assessed using the Dimensional Change Card Sort (DCCS), Corsi Block-Tapping Task, and Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders Task (HTKS) to measure cognitive flexibility, working memory, and self-regulation, respectively. The statistical analysis was performenad in Excel, Jamovi version 2.3.21 e Jasp version 0.17.2.1. The results revealed significant improvements in self-regulation, cognitive flexibility, and working memory among children in the experimental group. Network analysis, which is a method used to examine the relationships among interconnected entities, such as the dimensions studied, further demonstrated the conditional dependencies among them. The mediation analysis reported self-regulation as a mediator in the relationship between cognitive flexibility and working memory. These findings underscore the potential of nature-based interventions to enhance cognitive skills in early childhood, emphasizing the crucial role of self- regulation. Nevertheless, further research is needed to explore the importance and impact of self-regulation on executive functioning dimensions.
الوصف (مترجم): O Programa Casa da Mata (PCM), oferta educativa do Projeto Limites Invisíveis, destina-se a crianças dos três aos seis anos e pretende sensibilizar para a importância do espaço natureza na aprendizagem, desenvolvimento e bem- estar das crianças. A participação no PCM é voluntária e os participantes são crianças que frequentam três jardins de infância, na cidade de Coimbra. A literatura evidencia uma disseminação de instituições educativas que adotaram a metodologia das Nature Kindergartens, a exemplo do PCM, e relata os seus benefícios concretos, tais como o desenvolvimento da autonomia, o aumento da confiança e até mesmo aprimoramento das capacidades cognitivas das crianças, entre outras. O estudo tem uma tipologia quase-experimental, tendo como objetivos i) analisar o impacto de experiências prolongadas e sistemáticas na natureza sobre as competências de funcionamento executivo de crianças em idade pré-escolar que frequentam os PCM e, consequentemente perceber quais as competências influenciadas; e ii) fornecer recomendações baseadas na evidência para educadores e pais sobre os potenciais benefícios que uma educação na natureza pode ter no desenvolvimento das competências do funcionamento executivo em crianças em idade pré-escolar. O estudo incluiu um total de 49 crianças com idades compreendidas entre os três e os seis anos, com dois grupos experimentais e um grupo de controlo. As funções executivas foram avaliadas através do Dimensional Change Card Sort Test (DCCS), do Corsi Block-Tapping Task e da Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders Task (HTKS) para medir a flexibilidade cognitiva, a memória de trabalho e a autorregulação, respetivamente. As análises estatísticas foram elaboradas no Excel, Jamovi versão 2.3.21 e Jasp versão 0.17.2.1. Os resultados revelaram melhorias significativas na autorregulação, flexibilidade cognitiva e memória de trabalho entre as crianças do grupo experimental. A análise de rede, método utilizado para analisar as relações entre entidades interconectadas, tal como as dimensões do funcionamento executivo estudadas, demonstrou as dependências condicionais entre as mesmas. A análise de mediação reportou a autorregulação como mediadora na relação entre a flexibilidade cognitiva e a memória de trabalho. Estes resultados enaltecem o potencial das intervenções baseadas na natureza para melhorar as competências cognitivas na infância, realçando o papel crucial da autorregulação. Não obstante, é necessária mais investigação para explorar a importância e o impacto da autorregulação nas dimensões do funcionamento executivo.

الوصف: Abstract Background Executive functioning (EF) is an umbrella term for various cognitive functions that play a role in monitoring and planning to effectuate goal-directed behavior. The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS), the most common microdeletion syndrome, is associated with a multitude of both somatic and cognitive symptoms, including EF impairments in school-age and adolescence. However, results vary across different EF domains and studies with preschool children are scarce. As EF is critically associated with later psychopathology and adaptive functioning, our first aim was to study EF in preschool children with 22q11DS. Our second aim was to explore the effect of a congenital heart defects (CHD) on EF abilities, as CHD are common in 22q11DS and have been implicated in EF impairment in individuals with CHD without a syndromic origin. Methods All children with 22q11DS (n = 44) and typically developing (TD) children (n = 81) were 3.0 to 6.5 years old and participated in a larger prospective study. We administered tasks measuring visual selective attention, visual working memory, and a task gauging broad EF abilities. The presence of CHD was determined by a pediatric cardiologist based on medical records. Results Analyses showed that children with 22q11DS were outperformed by TD peers on the selective attention task and the working memory task. As many children were unable to complete the broad EF task, we did not run statistical analyses, but provide a qualitative description of the results. There were no differences in EF abilities between children with 22q11DS with and without CHDs. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first study measuring EF in a relatively large sample of young children with 22q11DS. Our results show that EF impairments are already present in early childhood in children with 22q11DS. In line with previous studies with older children with 22q11DS, CHDs do not appear to have an effect on EF performance. These findings might have important implications for early intervention and support the improvement of prognostic accuracy.

الوصف: An increase in children exhibiting attention difficulties has created the need for more classroom-based intervention programmes. A promising link between physical education and improvement in executive functioning has been at the centre of attention. POTENTIAL constitutes a novel classroom-based psychomotor education programme to enhance students’ attention and listening skills by improving executive functions. A cluster randomised feasibility study was conducted to explore the feasibility of a definitive trial to assess POTENTIAL’s effectiveness regarding (i) recruitment and sampling procedures; (ii) compliance and fidelity; (iii) the acceptability of POTENTIAL by teachers and children; and (iv) the appropriateness of the outcome measures. Four early years classes with an inclusion unit participated: two implemented POTENTIAL and two received no intervention. Eight children in each class (n = 32) were sampled to investigate the appropriateness of the outcome measures. Teachers’ diaries were utilised to explore the acceptability of the activities and the fidelity and compliance to the implementation. The findings regarding POTENTIAL’s acceptability were positive. The recruitment targets were met, and compliance and fidelity were good. Mixed results were produced about the appropriateness of the outcome measures. Thus, the trial protocol could be scaled up in a definitive trial. This study highlights the need for more physical education programmes to support children’s executive functioning.

الوصف: We examined what executive functioning (EF) components predict reading and mathematics within the same study and whether the effects of behavioral ratings of EF overlap or complement those of performance-based measures. One hundred and nine Grade 2 Mandarin-speaking Chinese students from Chengdu, China (55 girls, 54 boys, Mage = 8.15 years), were assessed on measures of EF (planning, inhibition, shifting, and working memory), speed of processing, reading and mathematics. Parents also rated their children’s EF skills using the Childhood Executive Functioning Inventory. Results of hierarchical regression analyses showed that only working memory among the performance-based EF measures predicted reading and mathematics. In addition, none of the behavioral ratings of EF made a significant contribution to reading and mathematics after controlling for mother’s education and speed of processing. Taken together, these findings suggest that working memory is a domain general predictor of academic achievement, but only when measured with cognitive tasks.

الوصف: Executive functioning (EF) processes are essential for adaptive and flexible responding to the demands and complexities of everyday life. Conversely, if impaired, these processes are a key transdiagnostic risk factor that cuts across autism and a range of other neurodevelopmental (NDD) and neuropsychiatric (NPD) conditions. However, there are currently no freely available informant-report measures that comprehensively characterize non-affective (e.g., working memory, response inhibition, and set shifting) and affective (e.g., emotion regulation) EF subdomains. This study describes the development, refinement, and initial psychometric evaluation of a new 52-item Executive Functioning Scale (EFS). Two independent data collections yielded exploratory (n = 2004, 169 with autism, ages 2–17) and confirmatory (n = 954, 74 with autism, ages 2–17) samples. Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM) model with six specific factors that closely matched hypothesized executive functioning subdomains of working memory and sequencing, response inhibition, set-shifting, processing speed, emotion regulation, and risk avoidance, and one general factor, showed the best fit to the data and invariance across age, sex, race, and ethnicity groups. Model reliability and internal consistency were excellent for the general factor (ω = 0.98; α = 0.97) and specific factors (ω ≥ 0.89–0.96; α ≥ 0.84–0.94). Conditional reliability estimates indicated excellent reliability (≥0.90) for the total EF scale and adequate or better reliability (≥0.70) for subscale scores. With further replication, the EFS has excellent potential for wide adoption across research and clinical contexts.

الوصف: This study aimed to investigate the role of dietary patterns on executive functioning among young adults. A purposive sample consisting of 400 participants with the distribution of 200 males and 200 female undergraduate students aged 19-24 years was selected from public universities in Lahore city, Pakistan. All participants were requested to fill out the demographic form along with the Food Preferences scale (FFQ) to measure food preferences, Adults Executive Functioning Inventory (ADEXI) to measure the executive functioning of young adults. Simple Regression analysis was run to predict Executive Functioning of young adults on their food preferences. Results revealed that healthy food preferences predict less impaired adults' executive functioning, including working memory and inhibition. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence that underscores the pivotal role of dietary choices, particularly the consumption of vegetables and the avoidance of unhealthy snacks, in shaping executive functions of young adults. These findings hold implications not only for individual health but also for public health policies aimed at promoting healthy aging and preventing cognitive disorders.
