我们研究了高功能自闭症儿童（HFA）和匹配的对照组在自我参照记忆（SRM）任务上的表现。SRM性能进行了检查，有关的症状严重程度和社会认知测试的心理化。62名儿童（31名HFA，31名比较; 8-16岁）完成了一项SRM任务，在该任务中，他们阅读了一系列单词，并决定这个单词是否描述了关于他们的事情，关于哈利波特的事情，或者包含一定数量的字母。然后，他们从一个较长的列表中识别出熟悉的单词。依赖性测量是三种编码条件下的记忆表现（d′）以及自我记忆偏差评分（d′ self-d′ other）。孩子们完成了奇怪的故事任务和儿童的眼睛测试作为社会认知的措施。父母完成SCQ和ASSQ作为症状严重程度的衡量标准。在比较样本中的儿童表现出标准的SRM效应，他们认识到显着更多的自我参考的话相对于其他参考和字母条件的话。相比之下，HFA儿童对自我和他人参照词的识别率相当。对于所有的儿童，SRM性能随着年龄的增长而提高，SRM性能的提高与社会问题的水平较低有关。这些关联并没有被心智化任务的表现所解释。患有HFA的儿童没有表现出对自我与他人相关信息的标准增强处理。倾向于优先处理自我相关信息的个体差异可能与社会认知过程有关，这些过程有助于改变自闭症儿童的社会症状表达。
We examined performance on a self-referenced memory (SRM) task for higher functioning children with autism (HFA) and a matched comparison group. SRM performance was examined in relation to symptom severity and social cognitive tests of mentalizing. Sixty-two children (31 HFA, 31 comparison; 8–16 years) completed a SRM task in which they read a list of words and decided whether the word described something about them, something about Harry Potter, or contained a certain number of letters. They then identified words that were familiar from a longer list. Dependent measures were memory performance (d′) in each of the three encoding conditions as well as a self-memory bias score (d′ self-d′ other). Children completed The Strange Stories Task and The Children’s Eyes Test as measures of social cognition. Parents completed the SCQ and ASSQ as measures of symptom severity. Children in the comparison sample showed the standard SRM effect in which they recognized significantly more self-referenced words relative to words in the other-referenced and letter conditions. In contrast, HFA children showed comparable rates of recognition for self- and other-referenced words. For all children, SRM performance improved with age and enhanced SRM performance was related to lower levels of social problems. These associations were not accounted for by performance on the mentalizing tasks. Children with HFA did not show the standard enhanced processing of self- vs. other-relevant information. Individual differences in the tendency to preferentially process self-relevant information may be associated with social cognitive processes that serve to modify the expression of social symptoms in children with autism.
