The relationship between theory of mind (ToM) and autobiographical memory (AM) in high-functioning autism (HFA) and Asperger syndrome (AS) has never been investigated. Here, we show that ToM abilities could be predicted by levels of AM in HFA and AS as compared to controls, suggesting that difficulties in AM are closely related to ToM impairments in HFA and AS.
高功能自闭症(HFA)和阿斯伯格综合征(AS)患者的心理理论(ToM)和自传体记忆(AM)之间的关系尚未得到研究。在这里,我们发现与对照组相比,HFA 和 AS 患者的 ToM 能力可以由 AM 水平预测,这表明 AM 困难与 HFA 和 AS 中的 ToM 损伤密切相关。
