Free recall in adults with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) was compared with that in matched controls in an experiment including semantically similar, phonologically similar and unrelated word lists. Without supportive instructions, adults with AS were significantly impaired in their recall of phonologically and semantically related lists, but not unrelated lists. Even when trained to make use at study of the relations among the words, the adults with AS recalled fewer words than the control group. Participants rehearsed the study lists out loud and the rehearsal data was analysed. Despite a very slight trend for adults with AS to engage in less elaborative rehearsal and more rote rehearsal, their rehearsal did not differ significantly from that of controls.
在一项实验中，将患有阿斯伯格综合征（AS）的成年人的自由回忆能力与匹配的对照组进行了比较，该实验包括语义相似、语音相似和不相关的单词列表。在没有支持性指导的情况下，患有AS的成年人在回忆语音和语义相关列表时明显受损，但在回忆不相关列表时则没有。即使经过训练在学习时利用单词之间的关系，患有AS的成年人回忆起的单词仍比对照组少。参与者大声复述学习列表，并对复述数据进行了分析。尽管患有AS的成年人有进行较少精细复述和较多机械复述的非常轻微的趋势，但他们的复述与对照组没有显著差异。
