Interoceptive accuracy has been widely measured using the Heartbeat Tracking Test (HTT). We devised the novel paradigm of Interoception-Exteroception Synchronicity Judgement (IESJ) task to assess participants' interoceptive accuracy, exteroceptive accuracy, and the balancing score which reflected the ability to allocate attentions between interoceptive and exteroceptive signals. This study administered the behavioural paradigms of the HTT and the IESJ as well as other self-report scales to 119 typically-developing youths. Individuals with lower autistic traits (n = 30) showed comparable interoceptive accuracy, exteroceptive accuracy, and balancing scores as their higher autistic traits counterparts (n = 33). Taken together, the high autistic traits subgroup exhibited higher levels of alexithymia but not empathy or interoception than the low autistic traits subgroup.
内感受准确性已广泛使用心率跟踪测试 (HTT) 进行测量。我们设计了新颖的内感受-外感受同步判断 (IESJ) 任务范式，以评估参与者的内感受准确性、外感受准确性和平衡分数，该分数反映了在内外感受信号之间分配注意力的能力。本研究对 119 名正常发育的青少年进行了 HTT 和 IESJ 行为范式以及其他自我报告量表的评估。具有较低自闭症特征的个体（n=30）与具有较高自闭症特征的个体（n=33）相比，表现出相当的内感受准确性、外感受准确性和平衡分数。总的来说，高自闭症特征亚组表现出较高的述情障碍水平，但同理心或内感受水平低于低自闭症特征亚组。
