Deficits in emotion recognition and social interaction characterize individuals with Asperger's Disorder (AS). Moreover they also appear to be less able to accurately use confidence to gauge their emotion recognition accuracy (i.e., metacognitive monitoring). The aim of this study was to extend this finding by considering both monitoring and control processes in emotion recognition among adults with AS. Those with AS were found to have difficulties acting on the basis of their metacognitive monitoring despite showing no deficits in their ability to discriminate accurate from inaccurate decisions. It is suggested that adults with AS have difficulties interacting socially because they are less able to assess when they are making accurate emotion recognition decisions despite having the capability to do so.
阿斯伯格综合征（AS）患者的特征是情感识别和社交互动方面存在缺陷。此外，他们似乎也不太能够准确地运用自信来评估自己的情感识别准确性（即元认知监测）。本研究的目的是通过考虑成年AS患者在情感识别中的监测和控制过程来扩展这一发现。尽管AS患者在区分准确与不准确决策的能力上没有缺陷，但他们在基于元认知监测采取行动时存在困难。这表明成年AS患者在社交互动方面存在困难，因为尽管他们有能力做出准确的情感识别决策，但却不太能够评估自己何时做出了准确的情感识别决策。
