Objective: Cognitive atypicalities are prevalent in autism. This prevalence has exhorted researchers to look for developing the most appropriate evaluation tools, which enable them to study cognitive functions in autism accurately and efficiently. Drawing tasks, due to their numerous advantages, are known as promising tools for examining cognitive…

Intro.

In this article, we use a multiple-memory systems framework to examine the interplay between attention and memory that begins in early postnatal life. We review how attention and memory interact to support infant development with respect to perceptual learning about objects…
