Psychometric properties of the Cambridge‐Mindreading Face‐Voice Battery for Children in children with ASD
Abstract
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.
