It is generally acknowledged that humans have an egocentric bias; processing self-related stimuli in a specialised, preferential manner. The self-bias has been studied within cognitive domains such as memory, attention and perception; but never across cognitive domains in order to assess whether self-biases are a product of a common bias, or independent. This has relevance for conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder: certain self-biases are reduced in those with autism, but the pattern of results is not consistent across different cognitive domains. Self-bias was measured across the attentional and perceptual domains on two well-established tasks: the attentional blink (attention) and shape-label matching (perception) tasks. Processing of each participant's own name was compared to processing of the name of another individual very familiar to the participant (to control for familiarity), and the name of an unfamiliar other. In the attentional domain, the attentional blink for the participant's own name was reduced compared to that for the name of a familiar or unfamiliar other. In the perceptual domain, participants showed stronger associations between their own name and a geometric shape than between the other classes of names and associated shapes. Thus, strong evidence of a self-bias, independent of familiarity, was found on both tasks. However, across two experiments, the magnitude of the self-bias on the attentional blink and shape-label matching tasks was not correlated, supporting the idea that self-biases across cognitive domains are distinct. Furthermore, in contrast with extant models, neither type of self-bias was predicted by autistic traits.

没有证据表明跨认知领域存在共同的自我偏见。

人们普遍认为，人类具有以自我为中心的偏见。以一种特殊的，优先的方式处理与自我相关的刺激。已经在诸如记忆，注意力和知觉等认知领域内研究了自我偏见。但绝不要跨越认知领域来评估自我偏见是共同偏见还是独立的产物。这与自闭症谱系障碍等疾病相关：自闭症患者的某些自我偏见有所减少，但结果的模式在不同的认知领域中并不一致。在两项公认的任务上，跨注意力和知觉领域测量了自我偏见：注意眨眼（注意）和形状标签匹配（知觉）任务。每个参与者的处理 将自己的姓名与处理参与者非常熟悉的另一个人的姓名（以控制熟悉程度）以及不熟悉的他人的姓名进行比较。在注意力领域，与自己熟悉或不熟悉的其他人的名字相比，参与者自己名字的注意力眨眼减少了。在感知领域，与其他类别的名称和相关形状相比，参与者显示出自己的名称和几何形状之间的关联更强。因此，在这两项任务中都发现了独立于熟悉程度的自我偏见的有力证据。但是，在两个实验中，注意眨眼和形状标签匹配任务上的自偏不相关，这表明跨认知域的自偏是不同的。此外，与现有模型相比，
