由F. hape（1994）首次引入的高级心智理论（ToM）测试适用于儿童（心理、人类、动物和自然故事加上无关联的句子）。这些材料的难度非常接近，并被呈现给45名7至12岁的自闭症儿童和27名对照组儿童。在独立测试中表现出ToM障碍的自闭症儿童在智力、人类和动物故事方面的表现明显比对照组差得多，前者的障碍最大，后者的障碍最小。因此，心理缺陷可能会影响对生物制剂的理解，即使这并不明确要求理解他人的心理状态。
A test of advanced theory of mind (ToM), first introduced by F. Happe (1994), was adapted for children (mental, human, animal, and nature stories plus unlinked sentences). These materials were closely matched for difficulty and were presented to forty-five 7- to 12-year-olds with autism and 27 control children. Children with autism who showed ToM impairment on independent tests performed significantly more poorly than controls solely on the mental, human, and animal stories with greatest impairment on the former and least on the latter. Thus, a mentalizing deficit may affect understanding of biologic agents even when this does not explicitly require understanding others' mental states.
