Nemeth, Dezso, et al. "Learning in Autism: Implicitly Superb." PLoS ONE 7 (2010): 1-7. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 9 Nov. 2010. Autistic people have memory and learning impairments, but recently researchers have studied how implicit learning in ASD is affected as well. ASD stands for Autism Spectrum Disorder, which includes social, motor, and communicative impairments. Implicit learning is the developing of a skill or information without consciousness to what was learned. Neurocognitive (thought) studies, and implicit cognition (unconcious influences such as knowledge) studies have received less attention. Studies have shown that children with Asberger's syndrome have better cognitive abilities that children with normal autism. Autistic children are more likely to forget the skills they have learned over the long term, but can use the results of implicit learning over a long period of time. ASD children compared to controlled show similar learning patterns in specific and general skill learning.
