Neural correlates of schema-dependent episodic memory and association with behavioral flexibility in autism spectrum disorders and typical development

ConclusionOur findings provide the first preliminary evidence for the association of schema-based episodic memory formation and behavioral flexibility, an executive function impaired in multiple developmental disorders. Upon replication, this line of research holds promise for memory-based interventions addressing executive problems of behavioral rigidity.
