目的:研究Asperger综合征(AS)儿童心理理论测试的完成情况。方法:使用中文版“心理理论”测试工具和图片词汇测验(PPVT)测试7~12岁AS儿童32名和正常对照儿童30名。结果:AS儿童表情辨认测试通过率94%,与正常对照组通过率(100%)比较差异无统计学意义(P=0.494),表情归因测试通过率低于正常对照组(81%,100%,χ2=4.23,P=0.039)。“地点变换”和“内容变换”两项错误信念测试通过率分别为69%和63%,均明显低于正常对照组通过率(100%,97%,χ2=8.99、10.91,P=0.003,0.001)。结论:部分学龄期AS儿童缺乏表情归因和判断他人错误信念的能力。
Objective: The present study was to investigate the performance of theory-of-mind tests of children with Asperger's Syndrome ( AS) .

But compared with normal control, AS group had much lower pass rate in expression reason- ing" (81% vs 100% ), place change" (69% vs 100% ), and content change (63% vs 97% ) (P = 0. 039, 0. 003, 0. 001 ) .
