Bowler, Dermot M.; Limoges, Elyse; Mottron, Laurent – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009
The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, which requires the free recall of the same list of 15 unrelated words over 5 trials, was administered to 21 high-functioning adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 21 matched typical individuals. The groups showed similar overall levels of free recall, rates of learning over trials and…
