Popis: Abstract Neuropsychology is a science that allows tracing the profile of cognitive impairments and preserved skills to design appropriate treatments and educational practices aiming at a better quality of life for the individual. This is basic correlational research, which objective was to verify if the results found in the executive functions in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are predictive of or have some correlation with the performance in conditional discrimination through choice tasks according to the identity matching-to-sample (MTS) model. Correlations revealed significant associations between neuropsychological tests and MTS tasks. Future research may further explore MTS tasks for the assessment and intervention of individuals with ASD.
