标题:Second-order False Belief Attribution in Children with Non-specific Intellectual Disabilities and Down Syndrome: Social-cognitive Profile Research and Educational Planning Challenges
摘要:Second-order mental state attribution in 64 children with intellectual disabilities was investigated.Five second-order false belief tasks were administered to the participants.Significant differences were found between Down syndrome and non-specific intellectual disabled group on the tasks.Results contrast with the view that individuals with Down syndrome have an intact theory of mind and suggest that in their attributions of second-order mental states,children with Down syndrome perform worse than do other group of children with non-specific intellectual disabilities.The findings are discussed in terms of the specificity of the etiology-related profiles of ID groups,considering educational and social inclusion practices.
