A study was undertaken to assess the relationship between perspective-taking ability and the quality of social behavior in autistic children. Sixteen autistic children ranging from 6 to 14 years of age were administered three types of perspective-taking tasks (perceptual, conceptual, and affective), as well as the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and the Leiter International Performance Scale. Two measures of social behavior were taken: the Vineland Social Maturity Scale and the Social Behavior Rating Scale, designed for the present study. It was found that perspective-taking ability was significantly correlated with both measures of social skills, whereas receptive vocabulary and nonverbal intelligence were not. These results suggest that the social impairments of autistic children may be related to specific deficits in social cognition.
一项研究旨在评估自闭症儿童的观点采择能力与社会行为质量之间的关系。对16名年龄在6至14岁之间的自闭症儿童进行了三种类型的观点采择任务（感知、概念和情感）测试，以及皮博迪图片词汇测试和莱特国际操作量表测试。采用了两种社会行为测量方法：适应行为量表和为本研究设计的社会行为评定量表。结果发现，观点采择能力与两种社会技能测量方法均显著相关，而接受性词汇和非言语智力则不然。这些结果表明，自闭症儿童的社会障碍可能与社会认知方面的特定缺陷有关。
