Abstract

Studied the role of theory of mind capabilities in the task performance of high-functioning male and female school-age children with autism. In the Netherlands, 10 Ss with autism aged 6 yrs 8 mo to 11 yrs 4 mo (Experimental Group 1), 12 Ss with pervasive developmental disorders not otherwise specified aged 7 yrs 3 mo to 12 yrs (Experimental Group 2), and 27 Ss (control group) matched for CA, sex, and intelligence were administered a verbal task and a puzzle-solving task. Sabotage of both tasks by a colleague of E created false belief for E, who was absent briefly. The results indicate that Group 2 Ss showed the expected stronger tendency to correct E's false belief in the rewarded task condition, but this effect was missing for Group 1 Ss. It is maintained that the findings underscore the role played by social and communicative factors in the application of theory of mind knowledge.
