患有高功能自闭症（HFA）和艾伯格综合征（AS）的人在心理理论（ToM）方面存在缺陷。传统的心理理论任务对测量成年人的心理理论缺陷不够敏感，因此需要更精细的心理理论测试。一个成人水平测试，阅读眼睛中的心灵测试表明，AS和HFA受试者在进行心理理论推理的能力方面存在可测量的缺陷。在这里，我们介绍了一个测试，扩展到听觉领域的上述任务，可用于成人智商分数在正常范围内。我们报告使用的测试与成人样本的人与AS/HFA和两个成年对照组。结果表明，个人与AS/HFA有困难的发声提取精神状态信息。这些结果与先前的结果一致，表明HFA和AS患者难以绘制ToM推断。
People with high functioning autism (HFA) and Asperger syndrome (AS) have deficits in theory of mind (ToM). Traditional ToM tasks are not sensitive enough to measure ToM deficits in adults, so more subtle ToM tests are needed. One adult level test, the Reading the Mind in the Eyes test has shown that AS and HFA subjects have measurable deficits in the ability to make ToM inferences. Here we introduce a test that extends the above task into the auditory domain and that can be used with adults with IQ Scores in the normal range. We report the use of the test with an adult sample of people with AS/HFA and with two adult control groups. Results suggest that individuals with AS/HFA have difficulty extracting mental state information from vocalizations. These results are consistent with previous results suggesting that people with HFA and AS have difficulties drawing ToM inferences.
