Article Synopsis
- A study examined working memory in individuals with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), focusing on non-verbal tasks to reduce the influence of verbal responses, which have shown inconsistent effects in past research.
- 30 participants with ASD were compared to 30 typically developing peers on working memory using specific non-verbal subtests, and statistical analyses revealed significant impairments in the ASD group, especially in the Reverse Memory task.
- The findings suggest that factors like task complexity and cognitive load can significantly affect working memory performance in individuals with high-functioning ASD, highlighting the need for tailored assessments.
Several studies have examined the cognitive profile of people with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders (ASD) (IQ > 70), and its relationship with the symptoms of ASD and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-IV (WISC-IV). However, no data exist on the similarities or differences in this profile in less affluent countries. The present study examined the cognitive profile and its relationship with the symptoms of ASD and ADHD in 30 subjects aged 6⁻16 years with high-functioning ASD and compared the results with those of 30 typically developing (TD) subjects.
