Learning from atypical development: A systematic review of executive functioning in children and adolescents with the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

• EF is impaired in children with 22q11DS, although updating may be spared. • The 22q11DS population provides ample opportunity to study mechanisms underlying EF. • Common risk factors for EF deficits do not appear to impact EF similarly in 22q11DS. • In 22q11DS, EF deficits seem to be largely independent from intellectual abilities. In this systematic review, we investigate executive functioning (EF) in a selected population: children and...
