The purpose of this study was to assess the cognitive skills of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) thought to be necessary for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Forty children with ASD and forty age-matched typically developing children between the ages of 7-12 years participated. Groups were comparable with regard to nonverbal IQ, but children with ASD had significantly lower verbal IQ. Children completed three CBT-related tasks requiring emotion recognition, discrimination among thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and cognitive mediation. With the exception of the emotion recognition task, children with ASD performed comparably to typically developing children and with a high rate of accuracy.
本研究旨在评估被认为对认知行为疗法(CBT)有必要的自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童的认知技能。共有 40 名 ASD 儿童和 40 名年龄匹配的 7-12 岁正常发育儿童参与了研究。两组在非言语智商方面相当,但 ASD 儿童的言语智商明显较低。儿童完成了三项与 CBT 相关的任务,需要识别情绪、区分想法、感受和行为以及认知调解。除了情绪识别任务外,ASD 儿童的表现与正常发育儿童相当,准确率很高。
