Relation between working memory and self‐regulation capacities and the level of social skills acquisition in people with moderate intellectual disability

Abstract

INTRODUCTIONThe ability to adapt in non‐routine situations is often related to the concept of executive functions, along with general intellectual abilities (Friedman, Miyake, Robinson, & Hewitt, ).Executive functions, whose structural basis is the prefrontal cortex, are based on three main components: inhibitory control, which is considered to be the most basic component of executive functions, working memory and cognitive flexibility (Miyake & Friedman, ).Working memory capacities are a basis of directing attention, processing information, willingly retaining information relevant for achieving a goal and inhibiting distracters (Barrett, Tugade, & Engle, ). Success in using previous experiences in interpreting new information (Van Nieuwenhuijzen & Vriens, ) depends on engaging the capacity of working memory, which means simultaneous retaining and processing information (Conway, Kane, & Engle, ; Smith & Jonides, ; Van der Molen, Henry, & Van Luit, ). Working memory is the basis of acquiring and following complex rules (Dowsett & Livesey, ) and regulating behaviour based on those rules. With regard to that, working memory can be observed as the basic function in regulating behaviour (self‐regulation) (Barnett et al., ; Hofmann, Friese, Schmeichel, & Baddeley, ).Self‐regulation can be defined as deliberately and willingly directing attention, emotions and behaviour towards achieving a
