Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with characteristic deficits in social functioning and presence of stereotypic behavior. Several research studies have examined potential deficits in cognitive skills, such as working memory, in this condition. A meta-analysis of the studies aimed at evaluating working memory (WM) in autistic population suggested deficits in visual and verbal aspects of WM. Working memory training has also been studied in other neurodevelopmental disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The study includes development of mobile-based games for training WM and other cognitive skills in patients and the evaluation of such training in reducing symptoms of ASD. These games may also be useful for other neurodevelopmental disorders.
