The present study investigated PM performance in autistic and non-autistic adults as well as the impact of the cognitive load of the ongoing task on PM performance. A total of 50 autistic individuals and 51 age- and non-verbal ability-matched non-autistic individuals completed an event-based PM task, which was embedded into an ongoing n-back task. The cognitive load of the n-back task was varied (2- vs. 3-back for low versus high cognitive load). Results showed that autistic participants did not differ from non-autistic participants in their PM performance. The cognitive load of the ongoing task had no impact on event-based PM performance in both groups. This is the first study to investigate the impact of ongoing task load on event-based PM performance in autistic adults. The results support the neurodiversity perspective of ASD as a highly heterogeneous population which is not necessarily characterized by reduced PM performance.

Event- and Time-Based Prospective Memory and Time Perception in Autistic Adults With and Without Intellectual Disabilities / Daniela NÃœRNBERG in Autism Research, 19-6 (June 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 19-6 (June 2026) . - p.e70250 Titre : Event- and Time-Based Prospective Memory and Time Perception in Autistic Adults With and Without Intellectual Disabilities Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Daniela NÃœRNBERG, Auteur ; Mareike ALTGASSEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.e70250 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : high-functioning autism  intellectual disability  low-functioning autism  prospective memory  time perception Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to examine time perception (i.e., the sense of the duration, order and passage of time) and event- and time-based prospective memory (PM; i.e., the ability to recall an intention to perform an action in the future) in adults across the wider autism spectrum including those with intellectual disabilities. Sixty-four adults, aged 18?65?years, took part in the study (32 autistic, 32 neurotypical controls). Participants were tested using computerized event- and time-based PM tasks and two different time perception tasks (naturalistic vs. comprehensive consisting of time estimation, time production and time reproduction). Results showed no differences between the groups in both PM tasks after controlling for verbal abilities. Moreover, both groups displayed comparable performance in event- versus time-based PM tasks. Autistic participants showed difficulties in time perception in comparison to neurotypical controls in the naturalistic, but not in the comprehensive time perception task. In both groups better performance in time perception was linked to better event- and time-based PM performance. Given the high relevance of PM in everyday life, further research is needed to support autistic individuals in their day-to-day lives. This is one of the first studies investigating PM in autistic adults, including those with intellectual disabilities, a part of the spectrum that is often overlooked.
