在本研究中，我们介绍了一个敏感的基于视频的测试微妙的读心困难的评估：电影的社会认知评估（MASC）。这种新的读心术工具包括观看一部短片，并回答有关演员心理状态的问题。一组成年人与Alfreger综合征（n = 19）和匹配良好的对照组（n = 20）进行了管理MASC和其他三个读心术工具的一部分，更广泛的神经心理测试会议。与对照组相比，高血压患者在社会认知方面表现出明显的选择性困难。读心测试的受试者工作特征（ROC）分析确定MASC最准确地区分诊断组。有关社会认知结构的多维度的问题进行了讨论。
In the present study we introduce a sensitive video-based test for the evaluation of subtle mindreading difficulties: the Movie for the Assessment of Social Cognition (MASC). This new mindreading tool involves watching a short film and answering questions referring to the actors' mental states. A group of adults with Asperger syndrome (n = 19) and well-matched control subjects (n = 20) were administered the MASC and three other mindreading tools as part of a broader neuropsychological testing session. Compared to control subjects, Asperger individuals exhibited marked and selective difficulties in social cognition. A Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis for the mindreading tests identified the MASC as discriminating the diagnostic groups most accurately. Issues pertaining to the multidimensionality of the social cognition construct are discussed.
