根据自闭症的社会动机理论，患有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的儿童在社会动机方面存在早期缺陷，表现为对社会信息的关注减少。据说，这些缺陷会导致社会认知发展受损，如心理理论(Tom)。在这一群体中，很少有人关注社会动机与心理理论之间的关系。本研究旨在探讨自闭症学龄前儿童的社会动机、社会取向与心理理论之间的关系。与典型的发育迟缓(TD)儿童相比，自闭症儿童在测量社会定向和心理理论的任务上表现出减退。研究还发现，儿童在社交定向任务上的表现与他们在心理理论任务上的表现相关。17名自闭症儿童和16名TD儿童参与了这项研究。被试完成了两项社会定向任务，一项是面孔偏好任务，一项是生物动作偏好任务，另一项是内隐错误信念任务。结果表明，TD儿童，而不是ASD儿童，表现出社会偏好，通过对面孔和生物动作的偏好来衡量。此外，与TD儿童相比，患有自闭症的儿童在TOM任务中的表现往往更差。社会动机任务和心理理论任务的成绩呈正相关，但仅限于TD儿童。这些发现表明，Tom是多方面的，动机缺失可能会对内隐心理理论产生下游影响。
According to the social motivation theory of autism, children who develop Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have early deficits in social motivation, which is expressed by decreased attention to social information. These deficits are said to lead to impaired socio-cognitive development, such as theory of mind (ToM). There is little research focused on the relation between social motivation and ToM in this population. The goal of the present study was to investigate the link between one aspect of social motivation, social orienting, and ToM in preschoolers with ASD. It was expected that, in contrast to typically developing (TD) children, children with ASD would show impaired performance on tasks measuring social orienting and ToM. It was also expected that children’s performance on the social orienting tasks would be correlated with their performance on the ToM task. A total of 17 children with ASD and 16 TD children participated in this study. Participants completed two social orienting tasks, a face preference task and a biological motion preference task, as well an implicit false belief task. Results reveal that TD children, but not children with ASD, exhibited social preference as measured by a preference for faces and biological motion. Furthermore, children with ASD tended to perform worse on the ToM task compared to their TD counterparts. Performance on the social motivation tasks and the ToM task tended to be related but only for the TD children. These findings suggest that ToM is multifaceted and that motivational deficits might have downstream effects even on implicit theory of mind.
