A distinct route for efficient learning and generalization in autism.

Visual skill learning is the process of improving responses to surrounding visual stimuli. For individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), efficient skill learning may be especially valuable due to potential difficulties with sensory processing and challenges in adjusting flexibly to changing environments. Standard skill learning protocols require extensive practice with multiple stimulus repetitions, which may be difficult for individuals with ASD and create abnormally specific learning with poor ability to generalize.

Visual-oculomotor interactions facilitate consolidation of perceptual learning.

Visual skill learning is commonly considered a manifestation of brain plasticity. Following encoding, consolidation of the skill may result in between-session performance gains. A great volume of studies have demonstrated that during the offline consolidation interval, the skill is susceptible to external inputs that modify the preformed representation of the memory, affecting future performance.
