Further Evidence of Intact Working Memory.
Ozonoff, Sally; Strayer, David L.
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v31 n3 p257-63 Jun 2001
This study compared working memory in 28 high-functioning autistic individuals (ages 7-18) with that of 30 individuals with Tourette Syndrome or typically developing. No group differences were found. Performance was significantly correlated only with age and IQ. Results suggest that working memory is not an executive function seriously impaired in autism. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
