一些最近发展的理论(例如,建构性情景模拟、自我投射和场景建构假说)提出,模拟可能的未来事件的能力(有时称为情景未来思维、展望或预见)取决于与回忆过去事件(情景记忆)有关的同一神经认知系统。在本文中,我们认为,自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)提供了一个理想的测试这些理论,因为它是一种发育障碍,其特点是情节记忆障碍。这些理论中的每一个都可以预测ASD患者在情景性未来思维方面的伴随障碍。我们回顾了有关ASD中情景式未来思维的证据,以及前瞻性记忆(记住将来要做的事情),计划,导航和心理理论的研究,一些理论认为这些研究也依赖于情景式未来思维的相同机制。(C)2012 Elsevier Inc.

A number of recently developed theories (e.g., the constructive episodic simulation, self-projection, and scene construction hypotheses) propose that the ability to simulate possible future events (sometimes referred to as episodic future thinking, prospection, or foresight) depends on the same neurocognitive system that is implicated in the recall of past events (episodic memory). In this paper, we argue that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) offers an ideal test of such theories, given that it is a developmental disorder that is characterized by impairments in episodic memory. Each of these theories would predict concomitant impairments in episodic future thinking among individuals with ASD. We review evidence concerning episodic future thinking in ASD, as well as studies of prospective memory (remembering to do something in the future), planning, navigation, and theory of mind, which some theories suggest also rely on the same mechanism as episodic future thinking.
