@article{Fryt2013a, abstract = {Due to possible psychosocial and neurocognitive factors, asthma may present a risk to children's executive functions and self-regulation, especially when it is poorly controlled. One hundred and one 8-11 year-old children (patients with asthma, ADHD and healthy peers) and their parents participated in the study. Four cognitive tasks measuring different executive functions and parent and child ver- sions of behavior regulation inventory were used. Children with asthma had more diffi culties shifting their attention between tasks and exhibited more problems in self-regulation than their healthy peers, but their scores were better than children with ADHD. Patients with more intensive treatment, poor symptom control, a his- tory of acute asthma attacks and non-compliance had slightly more diffi culties in executive functions and self-regulation.}, author = {Joanna Fryt and Władysława Pilecka and Tomasz Smolen}, journal = {Polish Journal of Applied Psychology}, keywords = {asthma,executive functions,self-regulation,symptom control}, number = {2}, pages = {169--185}, title = {{Does Asthma Disturb Executive Functions and Self-regulation in Children?}}, volume = {12}, year = {2013} }
