“…However, when EFs were associated with emotion recognition, correlations were found, with the highest correlation between cognitive flexibility and Phase 5. The results identified in the study by Erfanian et al (2018) indicated the relationship between components of EFs and emotion recognition. In other words, working memory is enhanced by improving emotion control, initiating, planning, organizing, and monitoring the amount of emotional recognition.…”

This study aims to analyze the association between recognition of emotions and executive functions in preterm and term-born students. The methodology consisted of an exploratory and transversal study of comparison of the performance between the purpose group and control group from 8 to 12 years. The results showed that there is no significant difference between groups in the FEs. There was an association between gaze fixation at the time of identifying emotions and gestational age. In the analysis of the relation FEs and recognition of emotions in preterm school children, there was a significant correlation in the time of recognition of emotions, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility. The research revealed differences between term and preterm schoolchildren, regarding emotions recognition, operational memory, visual tracking, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility. These results coincide with other studies on the subject and demonstrate the importance of evaluation and interventions directed to preterm births.

“…Nature not only allows the child to walk, run, climb a tree, walk on various materials (rock, etc. ), but also the child manipulate different objects which increase awareness of child toward the body These abilities lead to improvement of fundamental abilities such as balance touch and motor control, which results in optimal efficacy of higher levels of the central nervous system (1). Since children live on their senses, the sensory experiences connect the children with the hidden and emotional world of the future, so the direct experience of nature is an issue that awakens the child's senses and experiences the two senses (vision -hearing).…”

“…The symptoms of this disorder are ranged from mild to severe. One of the symptoms that greatly affect their social interaction is the sensory processing (1)(2)(3). Sensory processing problems in children with autism spectrum disorders consist of learning difficulties, child labor, anxiety disorders, hemiplegia, dementia, schizophrenia and posttraumatic stress disorder (4).…”

Background: Treatment methods for autistic spectrum have been of utmost interest for researchers. In this regard, nature therapy is one of the most cost-efficient methods of treatment. Considering this issue, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of family-centered nature therapy on the sensory processing of children with autism spectrum. Methods: This study was an applied and semi-experimental (pre-test and post-test) with control group. The statistical population included all children with autism spectrum disorder (3 -7 years old) referring to Tehran's rehabilitation and therapy centers. The sample size of 14 children (12 males and 2 females) with autism spectrum disorder was selected by convenience sampling method and were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Ten sessions of nature therapy were held at Sagan Nature School along with parents' mandatory attendance. To collect the data, the sensory evaluation checklist and the Nature Therapy Schedule were used based on theoretical framework and research findings. The obtained data were analyzed using Leven, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and covariance analysis tests. Results: Based on the obtained results, nature therapy had a significant effect on sensory processing in experimental group (F = 22.42; P = 0.001). Furthermore, eta coefficient of 0.67 indicated that approximately 67% of the variance of the dependent variable (sensory processing) is affected by the study intervention. Conclusions: The findings showed that family-centered nature therapy reduced some sensory problems in children with autism spectrum disorders. These children, especially in motion and touch, showed significant progress. Therefore, this method can be used for reducing the syndrome of children with autism spectrum disorder due to its positive, simple, and beneficial effects as a complementary therapy along with other therapies.

Background: Facial expression, tone of voice, body language, and context are unrecognizable to children with autism. Emotional arousal and emotion recognition (required emotion empathy and cognitive processing empathy) induce downstream illnesses in children with ASD. Thus, the proposed study aimed to develop a computer-based Emotional Recognition Memory Training Program (ERMTP) for ASD. Objective: Firstly, to develop and validate the ERMTP for social cognitive abilities in children with ASD and secondly, to conduct pilot-tested it in typically developing children and children with ASD. Materials and methods: This study consisted of 3 phases. The first phase was developing the ERMTP from the literature review. The second phase was analyzed for content validity with five experts about Task 1 (two activities) and Task 2 (nine activities) comprising ERMTP. Computer-based learning of six fundamental facial emotions (happy, sad, angry, fear, disgusted, and surprised) improves social cognition. Finally, the pilot test was analyzed to discover the ERMTP’s challenges for five children with typical development and ASD. Results: The ERMTP’s activity items have good content validity, especially regarding clarity and relevance. All five raters gave the intervention a 1.0 IOC for its distinct components. In the training program, we followed the expert instructions regarding background music or voice and the generalization task. Descriptive analysis indicated that all five normal-developing children followed emotional expressions and instructions (100%). All five parents reported there were changes in focus and memory skills. Emotion regulation, memory abilities, and the social cognition index demonstrated statistically significant (p<0.05) effects before and after ERMTP treatment in ASD. Conclusion: ERMTP seeks to improve the social cognition of children with ASD by the use of feedback from both specialists and the children themselves. However, further research will be necessary to investigate ASD using a randomized control trial.
