Parents of autistic children with regressive symptoms who were diagnosed after the publicity alleging a link with measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine tended to recall the onset as shortly after MMR more often than parents of similar children who were diagnosed prior to the publicity. This is consistent with the recall bias expected under such circumstances.
那些孩子患有退行性症状且在宣称麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹(MMR)疫苗存在关联的宣传之后被诊断为自闭症的家长,往往比在宣传之前就诊断出类似孩子的家长,更常回忆起孩子的症状在接种MMR疫苗后不久就开始了。这与在这种情况下预期的回忆偏差是一致的。
