ASD儿童表征自我和他人错误信念

ASD Children's Representation of Self and Others' False Belief

威廉斯(Williams)和哈皮(Happé)的一项最新实验显示,传统实验中自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童表征自我错误信念和他人错误信念难度相当是因为ASD儿童采用了陈述记忆策略所致,若排除该策略干扰,他们表征自我错误信念比表征他人错误信念更加困难。通过两项实验表明,ASD儿童表征自我错误信念的难度可能受自我动手行为的影响,而不是受陈述记忆策略的影响。

A recent experiment conducted by Williams and Happ6 showed that, in traditional experiments, the comparable difficulty of ASD children have in representing their own false belief and others＇ false belief is due to their adoption of the memory-for-statement strategy, and that they have greater difficulty in representing their own false belief than others＂ false belief if the interference of the strategy is removed. However, our two experiments showed that ASD children＇s diffi culty in representing self false belief is subject to self-manipulated actions rather than the memory-for-statement strategy.
