患有或不患有自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的高功能参与者观察一系列面部刺激，根据每张面部的影响做出决定，并表明他们对每个决定的信心。信心显着预测所有参与者的准确性，但这种关系对于具有典型发展的参与者比患有自闭症谱系障碍的参与者更强。在分层线性模型分析中，患有自闭症谱系障碍和不患有自闭症谱系障碍的参与者之间的面部处理准确性没有差异，但患有自闭症谱系障碍的参与者对自己的决定更有信心。这些结果表明，患有自闭症谱系障碍的人存在元认知障碍，并且对面部处理过于自信。此外，更高的元认知意识预示着更好的面部处理准确性，这表明元认知可能是干预教学中的关键技能。
Higher-functioning participants with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) viewed a series of face stimuli, made decisions regarding the affect of each face, and indicated their confidence in each decision. Confidence significantly predicted accuracy across all participants, but this relation was stronger for participants with typical development than participants with ASD. In the hierarchical linear modeling analysis, there were no differences in face processing accuracy between participants with and without ASD, but participants with ASD were more confident in their decisions. These results suggest that individuals with ASD have metacognitive impairments and are overconfident in face processing. Additionally, greater metacognitive awareness was predictive of better face processing accuracy, suggesting that metacognition may be a pivotal skill to teach in interventions.
