Abstract
We examined the indirect effect of task-switching on reading abilities via decoding among adolescents on the spectrum (N=45,Mage=14.7years) and a comparison group (N=43,Mage=14.3years). Results provided evidence of a moderated mediation, whereby indirect effects were only significant in adolescents on the spectrum.
