description Abstract Working memory was assessed with delayed matching-to-sample, with eye tracking. The case study aimed to analyze eye tracking in a matching-to-sample task with delays of 0, 4 and 8 seconds, and 20 minutes, with social and non-social stimuli. Three students participated. E1 (autism, 6 years old) had a statistical difference in the 8-second delay. E2 (autism and ID, 12 years old) and E3 (ID/Down Syndrome, 17 years old) showed significant difference between social and non-social stimuli (E2=20.5% for non-social and 2.83% for social; E3=63.01% for non-social and 1.23% for social). The data are expected to assist in the planning of teaching procedures.
