Scientists discovered how autism changes learning mechanisms 17:50

An international team of scientists led by Dejö Németh from the Center for Neurosciences in Lyon found that ultra-fast memory consolidation processes in people with autistic traits, including those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), are maintained at the same level as in neurotypical people. . This refutes stereotypes that autism significantly alters learning and memory mechanisms. The study was published in the journal Brain Research.

Ultra-rapid memory consolidation is a process by which the brain consolidates learning in seconds or minutes, especially during short pauses. The researchers took a spectrum approach, examining memory across a wide range of participants, from neurotypical people to people with ASD.

The experiments included learning and response tasks that measured pattern recognition and improvement in motor skills. The results showed that short pauses between training sessions significantly improved memory quality. The process was equally effective in people with and without autism.

These findings highlight that basic cognitive functions are preserved in people with autism, which opens prospects for the development of new therapeutic approaches and educational methods.
