孤独症的认知障碍研究及其评述

Review on the Researches of Cognitive Disorder in Autism

执行功能紊乱理论(Theory of Executive Dysfunction)、弱的中央统合理论(Weak Central Coherence theory)和心理理论假说(The Theory of Mind Hypothesis)是解释孤独症认知障碍的三种重要理论。本文着重通过回顾以往的实验研究来探讨三种理论的产生、发展及前进的方向,以及三大理论之间的关系。三者可能从不同侧面诠释了孤独症认知障碍的机制,如何综合起来更好地揭示孤独症的认知障碍和病理机制,尚需深入和全面的研究。同时更多地考虑不同认知因素的交互影响以及研究的生态学效度,可能是进一步研究需要考虑的问题。

Theory of Executive Dysfunction, Weak Central Coherence theory and Theory of Mind, were three,important theories which interpreted cognitive disorders of Autism. In this paper, by reviewing several previous studies, we explored the emergence, development and the trends of the three kinds of theories. These, theories -illustrated the mechanisms of cognitive disorders of Autism from different aspects. It required：further study ahotut how to reveal synthetically the cognitive and pathological mechanism of autism. Meanwhile, the,interaction of different cognitive factors and ecological validity of research may be further issues to be considered.
