The relationship between autism and memory, specifically memory functions in relation to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is an ongoing topic of research. ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by social communication and interaction impairments, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior.
The Benton Visual Retention Test is composed of 3 sets, or forms, of 10 designs (each 8.5 × 5.5 in.) that measure the examinee's visual and memory abilities as well as a set of alternate designs for repeated tests. [4] The examinee is given a booklet containing 10 blank pages on which they reproduce the designs.
Task Analysis and Skills Tracking: A checklist of skills that support the developmental milestones and can be used for daily curriculum activities and skill tracking. Users Guide provides the scoring criteria, examples, tips for the tester and an overview of Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior.
A more recent study in 2011 similarly studied a group of individual with bipolar disorder and found evidence for mood-dependent memory on a visual task (recognition of inkblots). It was observed that subjects had better recall for these inkblots when they were in the same mood state they had been in when they first saw these inkblots.
The introduction of stimuli which were hard to verbalize, and unlikely to be held in long-term memory, revolutionized the study of VSTM in the early 1970s. [6] [7] [8] The basic experimental technique used required observers to indicate whether two matrices, [7] [8] or figures, [6] separated by a short temporal interval, were the same.
Visual memory is one of several cognitive systems, which are all interconnected parts that combine to form the human memory. [2] Types of palinopsia , the persistence or recurrence of a visual image after the stimulus has been removed, is a dysfunction of visual memory.
In cognitive psychology, visuospatial function refers to cognitive processes necessary to "identify, integrate, and analyze space and visual form, details, structure and spatial relations" in more than one dimension. [1] Visuospatial skills are needed for movement, depth and distance perception, and spatial navigation. [1]
One of the theories concerning autism is the EMB (extreme male brain). This theory considers autistic people to have an "extreme male brain". In a study [33] from 2015, researchers confirmed that there is a difference between male and female in mental rotation task (by studying people without autism): males are more successful. Then they ...
