Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Implicit vs. explicit learning using a reproductive task in people with autism spectrum disorder. The aim is to determine the severity of autistic symptoms in all participants with the help of the autism quotient (AQ) and the emotion quotient (EQ). With the help of the Wechsler Intelligenzscala für Erwachsene (WAIS-IV) the general cognitive performance is to be recorded. These general tasks should not take more than 100 minutes in total. The actual duration of the SRT is max. 60 minutes (=1 hour) per person. In total max. 160 minutes.	—
