Autistic children were compared with control children on tasks in which retention was tested by different methods. In three tests of recall, using named pictures, written words and spoken words as test stimuli, autistic children were impaired in comparison with age‐matched normal children and with controls matched for verbal and non‐verbal ability. In one test of forced‐choice recognition of pictures, autistic children were impaired in comparison with ability‐matched controls. In three tests of cued recall, using named pictures, written words and spoken words as test stimuli, and acoustic, graphemic and semantic cues, autistic children were not impaired in comparison with normal age‐matched controls. In one test of paired‐associate learning using non‐related word pairs as test stimuli autistic children were not impaired in comparison with normal age‐matched controls. These experimental paradigms were similar to some that have been used to investigate the amnesic syndrome in man. Thus findings on paired‐associate learning differ in autistic and amnesic subjects, but findings on recall, recognition and cued recall are comparable. A possible parallel between autism and amnesia is discussed
