Happ�� on Autism - Dictionary of Arguments
Slater I 154 Autism/Happé: In the Strange Stories test (Happé, 1994)(1), (…) participants are asked to justify why a character might have chosen to say what he says in a complex mentalistic situation. For example, a soldier gets captured by enemy troops and upon being asked where the rest of his camp is hidden, he decides to reveal the exact location in the hope that the enemy will believe that he is lying and therefore send troops to the opposite location. Understanding this use of “double bluff” is a complex mindreading achievement that turns out to be especially challenging for individuals with autism, including for those individuals who do pass second-order theory of mind tests. 1.
