The decline in self-related memory in ASD was investigated by using encoding, forgetting, and source monitoring. Participants memorized action sentences verbally, observationally, or by enacted encoding. Then, they underwent recall, recognition, and source monitoring memory tests immediately and 1 week later. If the information were properly encoded, memory performance in the enacted encoding would be the highest (enactment effect). The result of memory tests in ASD and TD people showed that enacted encoding was superior. However, recall and source monitoring in ASD was significantly lower than in TD, which was not the case for recognition and forgetting. These results suggest that the decline in memory of self in ASD is associated with a deficit in memory reconstruction and source monitoring.
本研究采用编码、遗忘和来源监控三种方法，对 ASD 个体的自我相关记忆下降进行了研究。参与者通过口头、观察或执行编码来记忆动作句子。然后，他们立即和一周后进行回忆、识别和来源监控记忆测试。如果信息被正确编码，执行编码的记忆表现应该是最高的（执行效应）。ASD 和 TD 人群的记忆测试结果表明，执行编码更优。然而，ASD 个体的回忆和来源监控明显低于 TD，而识别和遗忘则并非如此。这些结果表明，ASD 个体的自我记忆下降与记忆重构和来源监控缺陷有关。
