This study examined the psychometric characteristics of the Cambridge-Mindreading Face-Voice Battery for Children (CAM-C) for a sample of 333 children, ages 6–12 years with ASD (with no intellectual disability). Internal consistency was very good for the Total score (0.81 for both Faces and Voices) and respectable for the Complex emotions score (0.72 for Faces and 0.74 for Voices); however, internal consistency was lower for Simple emotions (0.65 for Faces and 0.61 for Voices). Test–retest reliability at 18 and 36 weeks was very good for the faces and voices total (0.76–0.81) and good for simple and complex faces and voices (0.53–0.75). Significant correlations were found between CAM-C Faces and scores on another measure of face-emotion recognition (Diagnostic Analysis of Nonverbal Accuracy-Second Edition), and between Faces and Voices scores and child age, IQ (except perceptual IQ and Simple Voice emotions), and language ability. Parent-reported ASD symptom severity and the Emotion Recognition scale on the SRS-2 were not related to CAM-C scores. Suggestions for future studies and further development of the CAM-C are provided.

针对 ASD 儿童的 Cambridge-Mindreading Face-Voice 电池的心理测量特性

本研究针对 333 名 6-12 岁 ASD（无智力障碍）儿童样本，检查了剑桥读心儿童面部语音电池 (CAM-C) 的心理测量特征。总分的内部一致性非常好（面部和语音均为 0.81），复杂情绪得分（面部为 0.72，语音为 0.74）可观；然而，简单情绪的内部一致性较低（面部为 0.65，声音为 0.61）。18 周和 36 周的重测信度对于面部和声音的总和（0.76-0.81）非常好，对于简单和复杂的面部和声音（0.53-0.75）也很好。发现 CAM-C Faces 与另一种面部情绪识别测量（非语言准确性的诊断分析 - 第二版）的分数之间存在显着相关性，以及面孔和声音分数与儿童年龄、智商（知觉智商和简单语音情绪除外）和语言能力之间的关系。父母报告的 ASD 症状严重程度和 SRS-2 上的情绪识别量表与 CAM-C 评分无关。提供了对未来研究和进一步发展 CAM-C 的建议。
