Description: In this study, we ask adults with autism spectrum disorder to view short animated clips and then provide verbal narratives and visuospatial reenactments of the animations. Our goal is to better understand the ways verbal and visuospatial working memory each contribute to memory formation and expression in autism.

Description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of context on the processing of words in young adults with and without an autism spectrum disorder. The knowledge gained may lead to further understanding of the cognitive and linguistic processing of individuals with autism spectrum disorder—how they understand and see the world around them. The study is being conducted at our on-campus lab and includes the completion of some standardized paper and pencil tests and some computer-based activities. Participants receive compensation for their participation.
