Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To establish an evaluation system and training program for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we employed one-year intervention program for ASD and typically developed (TD).We investigated continuous prefrontal hemodynamic changes using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) depending on reciprocal disposition of working memory and nonworking memory tasks using two-channel NIRS. Weighted separability index (WS) of prefrontal cortex was measured and compared between ASD and TD. Average +/- SD of WS was 1.34+/-2.11 (n=14) in TD, whereas 0.46+/-0.53(n=12) in ASD, however no significance was found. On the other hand, among ASD subjects, Average +/- SD latency time of stroop test was significantly decreased during one-year intervention program (pre 1.369 +/- 0.577, post 1.119 +/- 0.305), suggesting efficacy of our training program.
