Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have shown experimental and practical evidence of executive dysfunction in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). As experimental, we measured oxy-Hb concentration change using Near-infrared spectroscopy during default mode network and baseline in typical developed and ASD. Preliminary, ASD subjects showed delayed response of oxy-Hb concentration in response to DMN-baseline switch. Practical, we have applied continuous activation of prefrontal function to students in the special needs class of an elementary school. After 6 months trial, students showed increased performance rate in various task applied.We conclude that ASD subjects might be trained if effective prefrontal training task will be applied.
