To clarify the role of item and order memory in the serial recall of adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we carried out 2 experiments in which adults with ASD and comparison participants matched on chronological age and verbal IQ saw sequences of 7 dots appear sequentially in a 3 × 4 grid. In Experiment 1 (serial recall), they had to recall the locations and the presentation order of the dots by tapping locations on an empty grid. In Experiment 2, (order reconstruction) the studied dots were provided at test and participants had to touch them in their order of appearance at study. Experiment 1 revealed diminished item and order recall in the ASD group; Experiment 2 revealed diminished order recall only when verbal IQ was controlled. The results support the view that people with ASD have particular difficulty with serial order recall but may use their language ability to achieve better serial recall performance. When asked to recall a sequence of dot locations in order, adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) make more errors in recalling the order of the locations than do matched typical individuals. This difficulty is less evident when the dot locations are provided at test, and participants simply have to reconstruct the order in which they originally appeared. Together with parallel findings using verbal material, there appears to be a general (cross-domain) deficit in order processing in individuals with a diagnosis of ASD. There is also some evidence that the ASD participants relied on language capability to accomplish this nonverbal task.
