摘要:

伴随较高阈下孤独特质水平的典型发展个体,虽未达到孤独症临床诊断标准,但依然表现出较明显的社交困难,这可能与其心理理论的加工效率有关。本研究采用经典的错误信念任务测量心理理论,在控制了执行功能的情况下,考察了高、低阈下孤独特质被试在错误信念推理加工效率上的差异。结果发现,两组被试在自我指向和和他人指向错误信念推理加工上均没有显著差异,但高特质组被试在错误信念任务上的整体反应更慢,该差异不能归结于两组被试在执行功能上的差异,而可能与社会性刺激加工能力不足有关,这一结果进一步揭示了社交能力个体差异的产生机制。

Abstract:

Typically developing individuals exhibit higher subthreshold autistic traits without meeting the clinical criteria for autism spectrum disorder(ASD). Despite this, they may still suffer notable social difficulties, potentially linked to their processing efficiency of theory of mind(ToM). Using a classic measurement paradigm of ToM(i.e., the false belief task), the present study examined the differences in processing efficiency of false belief inference between individuals with high and low subthreshold autistic traits, while controlling for executive function. Results showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in the processing of self-oriented and other-oriented false belief inference, but the overall response of the high-trait group was slower on the false belief task. These findings can not be attributed to the difference in executive function between the two groups, but may be related to the insufficient processing capability of social stimuli. These findings shed light on the mechanisms of individual differences in social abilities.
