通过两个实验考察了在错误信念任务和旨在引起对人类行为的解释的新任务上的表现之间的关系。在第一项研究中，正常学龄前儿童在这两项任务上的表现是显着相关的。第二个实验包括自闭症儿童、智力落后儿童和年龄较大的正常儿童的匹配组。自闭症受试者在提供精神解释方面明显比对照组差。自闭症受试者在错误信念上的表现与对行动任务的解释高度相关。这些发现是从语言和心理理论之间的关系的角度来讨论的。
The relationship between performance on a false belief task and a new task designed to elicit explanations of human action was examined in two experiments. In the first study normal preschoolers' performance on both tasks was significantly correlated. The second experiment included matched groups of autistic, mentally retarded, and older normal children. The autistic subjects were significantly worse than controls at offering mentalistic explanations. Performance on the false belief and the explanation of action tasks was highly correlated for the autistic subjects. These findings are discussed in terms of the relationships between language and theory of mind.
