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 subjective organisation of their recall. However, the primacy portion of the serial position curve of the ASD participants showed slower growth over trials than that of the typical participants. The implications of this finding for our understanding of memory in ASD are discussed.
对21名高功能自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）青少年和成人以及21名匹配的正常个体进行了雷伊听觉词语学习测试，该测试要求在5次试验中自由回忆15个不相关词语的相同列表。两组在自由回忆的总体水平、试验中的学习率以及回忆的主观组织方面表现出相似性。然而，ASD参与者系列位置曲线的首因部分在试验中的增长比正常参与者的要慢。本文讨论了这一发现对我们理解ASD记忆的意义。
