现实监控（RM）的研究往往涉及内侧前额叶皮层（mPFC）在区分内部和外部信息，一个区域与自闭症相关的缺陷，在社会和自我参考的信息处理，执行功能和记忆。本研究采用自我-他人和感知-想象两种RM条件，探讨成人自闭症患者的RM和元记忆。自闭症组表现出RM的缺陷，这在不同的源条件下没有差异，两组都表现出自我编码的识别和源记忆的好处。在自闭症组中，感知-想象信息的元记忆显著较低，而自我-他人信息的元记忆则不显著。因此，现实监测和元记忆，敏感的mPFC功能，出现受损的自闭症，突出了记忆和监测过去事件的内部和外部细节的困难。
Studies of reality monitoring (RM) often implicate medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in distinguishing internal and external information, a region linked to autism-related deficits in social and self-referential information processing, executive function, and memory. This study used two RM conditions (self-other; perceived-imagined) to investigate RM and metamemory in adults with autism. The autism group showed a deficit in RM, which did not differ across source conditions, and both groups exhibited a self-encoding benefit on recognition and source memory. Metamemory for perceived-imagined information, but not for self-other information, was significantly lower in the autism group. Therefore, reality monitoring and metamemory, sensitive to mPFC function, appear impaired in autism, highlighting a difficulty in remembering and monitoring internal and external details of past events.
