在以前的研究中,我们发现自闭症儿童在概念性角色承担,即他们的心理理论方面受到了严重的损害。在这项研究中,我们考虑了这种损害的两个可能的先兆,这两个都是早期的人际交往能力。第一个是感性的角色承担。对这一点的测试显示没有损害,排除了它与心理理论上的损害有关。第二个是指点。与非自闭症对照组相比,这在理解和产出方面都是不正常的。特别是,原陈述性指向受到损害,而原命令性指向没有受到影响。讨论了前陈述性指向受损可能是自闭症儿童S心理理论受损的前兆。
In previous studies we have found that autistic children were severely impaired in conceptual role taking, that is, in their theory of mind. In this study we consider two possible precursors to this impairment, both of which are early interpersonal abilities. The first is perceptual role taking. A test of this revealed no impairment, ruling it out as related to the impairment in theory of mind. The second is pointing. This was shown to be abnormal, both in comprehension and production, relative to non-autistic controls. In particular, protodeclarative pointing was impaired whilst protoimperative pointing was not. The possibilty that impaired protodeclarative pointing may be a precursor to autistic children''s impaired theory of mind is discussed.
