Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Corsi Task Block Span
It is an indicator of working memory. The value ranges between 0 and 9. Higher values mean better outcome.
Corsi Task Total Score
It is an indicator of working memory. The minimum value is 0, the maximum value has no limit. Higher values mean better outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist Total Score
Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist is a measure to evaluate treatments for Autism. The total score ranges between 0 and 179. Higher values mean better outcome.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with characteristic deficits in social functioning and presence of stereotypic behavior. Several research studies have examined potential deficits in cognitive skills, such as working memory, in this condition. A meta-analysis of the studies aimed at evaluating working memory (WM) in autistic population suggested deficits in visual and verbal aspects of WM. Working memory training has also been studied in other neurodevelopmental disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The study includes development of mobile-based games for training WM and other cognitive skills in patients and the evaluation of such training in reducing symptoms of ASD. These games may also be useful for other neurodevelopmental disorders.
