“…The results of studies investigating verbal working memory in ASD, including HFA, are inconsistent. Some studies find evidence of working memory deficits (Joseph, Steele, Meyer, & Tager-Flusberg, 2005; Schuh & Eigsti, 2012), whereas others report normal performance (Griffith, Pennington, Wehner, & Rogers, 1999; Koshino et al, 2005; Ozonoff & Strayer, 2001; Russell, Jarrold, & Henry, 1996; Schaeffer, 2016), or mixed performance (e.g., Bennetto, Pennington, & Rogers, 1996). Similarly, the investigation of nonverbal (visuospatial) working memory in individuals with ASD, including HFA, renders mixed results as well (Benetto et al, 1996; Luna et al, 2002).…”
