这项研究考察了自闭症患者的记忆功能。根据先前的执行功能缺陷的证据，我们假设自闭症患者将表现出与其他执行功能缺陷组相似的完整和受损的记忆功能模式，例如额叶病理患者。我们比较了患有自闭症的高功能儿童和青少年(n=19)和在性别、CA和VIQ方面匹配的临床对照对象(n=19)在记忆和EF方面的表现。自闭症患者组在时间顺序记忆、来源记忆、超自由回忆、工作记忆和EF方面的表现明显逊于对照组，但在短期和长期识别、线索回忆或新的学习能力方面表现不佳，这与EF理论的预测一致。与对照组相比，自闭症组的认知测试的相关性明显更强，这与中央认知的限制一致。
This study examined memory functions in individuals with autism. Based on previous evidence of executive function (EF) deficits, we hypothesized that subjects with autism would demonstrate a pattern of intact and impaired memory functions similar to that found in other groups with EF deficits, such as patients with frontal lobe pathology. We compared the performance of high-functioning children and adolescents with autism (n = 19) and clinical comparison subjects (n = 19) matched on sex, CA, and VIQ on measures of memory and EF. The group with autism performed significantly worse than comparison subjects on measures of temporal order memory, source memory, supraspan free recall, working memory, and EF, but not on short- and long-term recognition, cued recall, or new learning ability, consistent with the predictions of the EF theory. The cognitive measures were significantly more intercorrelated in the autism group than the comparison group, consistent with a limit in central cognition.
