Autistic individuals and controls showed similar error rates and strategies in number factorization and prime number tasks. However, significant differences were observed in the speed of arithmetic operations.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive psychology
  • Neurodevelopmental disorders
  • Number cognition

Background:

  • Understanding cognitive differences in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is crucial for tailored educational and therapeutic approaches.
  • Previous research indicates varied performance in mathematical abilities among individuals with ASD, but specific cognitive processes require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the cognitive strategies and performance of an autistic young man and a neurotypical control in number factorization and prime number recognition/generation.
  • To investigate potential differences in the speed of arithmetic operations between individuals with and without autism.

Main Methods:

  • Participants: One autistic young man and one neurotypical control.
  • Tasks: Number factorization, prime number recognition, and prime number generation.

  • Data Collection: Error rates, strategy analysis, and response times for arithmetic operations.

    • Main Results:

    • Both participants exhibited comparable accuracy and utilized similar strategic approaches for the given mathematical tasks.
    • A notable divergence was observed in the speed of executing arithmetic operations, with significant differences in processing times.

    Conclusions:

    • Autism does not necessarily impair the strategic or accuracy aspects of number factorization and prime number tasks.
    • Processing speed in arithmetic operations may represent a key area of difference in cognitive functioning related to autism spectrum disorder.
