Improving Executive Function in Korean Children With Autism
A Randomized, Control Trial of Executive Function Training for Korean Kindergartners With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of an executive function (EF) training intervention for 5- to 7-year-old autistic children in South Korea. This study will have three aims: (1) to assess the acceptability and feasibility of the EF intervention with children with ASD; (2) to examine clinically important effects of the intervention using multimodal methods combining lab-based behavioral tasks and novel electrophysiological measures; and (3) to determine whether the effects are generalized to everyday EF skills in real-world settings using parent-ratings.
