Abstract

This article provides the first assessment of theory of mind, that is, the ability to reason about mental states, in adult patients with congenital heart disease. Patients with congenital heart disease and matched healthy controls were administered classical theory of mind tasks and a semi-structured interview which provides a multidimensional evaluation of theory of mind (Theory of Mind Assessment Scale). The patients with congenital heart disease performed worse than the controls on the Theory of Mind Assessment Scale, whereas they did as well as the control group on the classical theory-of-mind tasks. These findings provide the first evidence that adults with congenital heart disease may display specific impairments in theory of mind.

摘要

本文首次对患有先天性心脏病的成年患者的心理理论能力（即对心理状态进行推理的能力）进行了评估。对患有先天性心脏病的患者和匹配的健康对照组进行了经典的心理理论任务测试以及一项半结构化访谈，该访谈提供了对心理理论的多维度评估（心理理论评估量表）。在心理理论评估量表上，先天性心脏病患者的表现比对照组差，而在经典的心理理论任务中，他们的表现与对照组相当。这些发现首次证明，患有先天性心脏病的成年人在心理理论方面可能存在特定缺陷。
