Abstract
This research paper investigates the potential cognitive benefits of learning and playing chess for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), specifically for working memory and focused attention. Previous studies have shown the positive effects of chess on cognitive functioning, but they were for neurotypical individuals. Also, studies have shown that people with ASD lack certain cognitive functioning abilities. However, little research has been conducted on the impact of chess on cognitive capabilities in individuals with ASD. The method used in this study involved testing for working memory and focused attention, holding a chess program for participants with special needs, specifically ASD, and testing again for improvement. The results of this study fill the gap in existing knowledge regarding the benefits of chess for individuals with ASD and may provide insights into potential approaches for improving cognitive functions for this population.
