Abstract
To examine the hypothesis that abnormalities in those cognitive functions for which cerebellar components have been implicated contribute to the pathophysiology of autism, tests of judgment of explicit time intervals and procedural learning were administered to 11 participants with autism and 17 age-and-IQ-matched controls. Results indicated that the group with autism demonstrated significant impairments in procedural learning compared with the group of controls. No significant difference in judgment of explicit time intervals was found. The data suggest that deficits in procedural learning may contribute to the cognitive and behavioral phenotype of autism; these deficits may be secondary to abnormalities in cerebellar-frontal circuitry.

自閉症的兒童及青少年，在學習程序上往往有一些缺陷，而實驗研究發現，這些學習程序上的問題很有可能是因為小腦額葉電路異常。
