(a) Study design. Before training, all eligible children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing (TD) children underwent neuropsychological (NP) assessments, a functional …
Problem sets were balanced in structure and task difficulty.
(a) Learning profiles. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) showed significant improvements in inverse efficiency score (reaction time/accuracy) of the training task from training day 1–5 at …
(a) Changes in performance. Accuracy for untrained problems of math verification task in the fMRI scanner at pre- and post-training is shown for each group (top). Accuracy gain, measured as …
Both (a) whole-brain and (b) region of interest (ROI) multivariate neural representational pattern analysis showed no significant differences in mean NRP across individuals between children with …
Mean NRP across individuals in the right medial temporal lobe (MTL) and right intraparietal sulcus (IPS) was comparable between children with ASD and TD children. Sample size: n(ASD)=21 and …
Whole-brain multivariate neural representational pattern analysis revealed a significant group by learning gain interaction in the bilateral medial temporal lobe (MTL), right intraparietal sulcus …
ROI-based analysis showed significant interaction between group and learning gain on NRP for trained problems in bilateral medial temporal lobe (MTL) and left intraparietal sulcus (IPS). Sample …
Brain regions identified from whole brain analysis for trained problems did not show significant interaction between group and change in performance for untrained problems. Sample size: n(ASD)=21 …
ROI-based analysis did not show significant interaction between group and changes in performance for untrained problems in regions related to math learning, including medial temporal lobe (MTL) and …
Pearson’s correlation between rule-based strategy persistence and NRP was assessed for each region of interest in children with ASD. Rule-based strategy persistence was quantified as the extent to …
(a) A moderation analysis was performed to examine whether insistence on sameness (IS), a cognitive component of clinical symptoms (RRIB) in autism, influences the relation between functional brain …
A moderation analysis was performed for each region of interest to examine whether the transition from a rule-based to a memory-based strategy influences the relationship between functional brain …
Whole-brain multivariate neural representational pattern analysis revealed a significant group by learning gain interaction in the right medial temporal lobe (MTL), right intraparietal sulcus (IPS), …
