目的:探究脑瘫患儿推理加工与心理理论的相关性。方法:选取35名脑瘫患儿和36名正常对照组儿童,接受语义推理(因果推理和预期推理)、语用推理(简单语用和复杂语用推理)和心理理论(错误信念和错误预期)测试。结果:在各测试任务上脑瘫组得分显著低于对照组;分层回归分析表明:因果推理对错误信念有预测作用,预期推理对错误预期有预测作用,简单语用推理对错误信念和错误预期都有预测作用,复杂语用推理对错误预期有预测作用。结论:脑瘫患儿的推理加工能力和心理理论落后于正常儿童,推理加工能力与心理理论具有相关性。
Objective: To explore the relation between inference processing and theory of mind in children with cerebral palsy, Methods: 35 children with cerebral palsy and 36 normal controls were assessed in the tasks of semantic inference (causal vs. predictive inference), pragmatic inference (simple vs. complex) and theory of mind (second-order falsebelief vs. false expectation). Results: There were significant differences between children with cerebral palsy and normal controls in the tasks of inference processing and theory of mind; Hierarchical regression analyses showed that causal inference significantly predicted false belief; predictive inference significantly predicted false expectation; simple pragmatic inference significantly predicted false belief and false expectation; complex pragmatic inference significantly predicted false expectation. Conclusion: Inference processing and theory of mind in children with cerebral palsy lagged behind those in normal children, and inference processing was related to theory of mind.
