Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Ring, Melanie; Bowler, Dermot M.; Gaigg, Sebastian B. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Persons with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) demonstrate good memory for single items but difficulties remembering contextual information related to these items. Recently, we found compromised explicit but intact implicit retrieval of object-location information in ASD (Ring et al. "Autism Res" 8(5):609-619, 2015). Eye-movement data…

Meyer, Brenda J.; Gardiner, John M.; Bowler, Dermot M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
Rehearsal strategies of adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and demographically matched typically developed (TD) adults were strategically manipulated by cueing participants to either learn, or forget each list word prior to a recognition task. Participants were also asked to distinguish between autonoetic and noetic states of awareness…

Binding of Multiple Features in Memory by High-Functioning Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bowler, Dermot M.; Gaigg, Sebastian B.; Gardiner, John M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
Diminished episodic memory and diminished use of semantic information to aid recall by individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are both thought to result from diminished relational binding of elements of complex stimuli. To test this hypothesis, we asked high-functioning adults with ASD and typical comparison participants to study grids in…

Recall of a Live and Personally Experienced Eyewitness Event by Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Maras, Katie L.; Memon, Amina; Lambrechts, Anna; Bowler, Dermot M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2013
The aim of the present study was to (a) extend previous eyewitness research in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using a live and personally experienced event; (b) examine whether witnesses with ASD demonstrate a facilitative effect in memory for self- over other-performed actions; (c) explore source monitoring abilities by witnesses with ASD in…

Multiple List Learning in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Parallels with Frontal Lobe Damage or Further Evidence of Diminished Relational Processing?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bowler, Dermot M.; Gaigg, Sebastian B.; Gardiner, John M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2010
To test the effects of providing relational cues at encoding and/or retrieval on multi-trial, multi-list free recall in adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD), 16 adults with ASD and 16 matched typical adults learned a first followed by a second categorised list of 24 words. Category labels were provided at encoding,…

Different Verbal Learning Strategies in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Evidence from the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bowler, Dermot M.; Limoges, Elyse; Mottron, Laurent – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009
The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, which requires the free recall of the same list of 15 unrelated words over 5 trials, was administered to 21 high-functioning adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 21 matched typical individuals. The groups showed similar overall levels of free recall, rates of learning over trials and…
