Reality monitoring is the cognitive process of distinguishing between internally and externally generated information sources such as imagined and performed actions. The purpose of this study was to examine self-self-monitoring with action in people with autism, which has not been examined previously, using subject performed tasks along with free recall and recognition. Twenty adults with ASD and 20 adults with typical development (TD) participated in this study. Participants memorized action sentences such as "write in pencil" and "under imagined, pantomime, or enacted conditions." Free recall, yes/no recognition, and reality monitoring tests were conducted immediately after and one week later. There was no difference in reality monitoring between the ASD and TD groups. The free recall and recognition performance of the ASD group was lower than that of the TD group. The results of the present study support the previously reported finding of unimpaired retrospective mechanisms of sense of agency related to reality monitoring in people with ASD. Moreover, low levels of free recall and recognition were discussed regarding difficulties in memory reconstruction and consolidation.
现实监控是一种认知过程，用于区分内部和外部产生的信息源，如想象的和实际执行的动作。本研究的目的是使用受试者执行的任务以及自由回忆和识别，来检验自闭症患者中尚未被研究过的自我自我监控与动作的关系。20名患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的成年人和20名发育正常（TD）的成年人参与了本研究。参与者记忆诸如“用铅笔书写”以及“在想象、模仿或实际执行的条件下”等动作句子。在记忆后立即以及一周后进行自由回忆、是/否识别和现实监控测试。ASD组和TD组在现实监控方面没有差异。ASD组的自由回忆和识别表现低于TD组。本研究结果支持了先前报道的关于ASD患者中与现实监控相关的代理感回顾机制未受损的发现。此外，还讨论了自由回忆和识别水平较低与记忆重建和巩固困难之间的关系。
