Abstract
Objective. The purpose of this review article is to identify and characterize the memory functioning in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder without intellectual deficit. Methodology. A review in different databases was carried out. Articles resulting from research between 2009 and 2015, whose sample were children and adolescents, were considered as inclusion criteria. Results. It was found that people with autism show impairments in working memory, episodic memory and procedural memory. Conclusions. Recognizing the functioning of the different memory systems in autism spectrum disorder will make possible for the teacher to generate strategies to facilitate teachinglearning processes in the classroom, which will revert to a comprehensive human development.
