Spontaneous perspective-taking and its relation to schizotypy Cogn. Neuropsychiatry. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2023-03-16 Mark R. Gardner, Tom Buchanan
ABSTRACT Introduction Patients with schizophrenia differ from healthy controls in the extent that they spontaneously take another’s perspective. For such effects, it is difficult to separate the influence of schizophrenia from multiple potential confounders. Here, for the first time, associations between spontaneous perspective-taking and schizotypy were investigated in a nonclinical population. Methods

ABSTRACT Introduction The relationship between fatigue and (socio-)cognitive deficits in neurological diseases has sparked increasing research interest in the past years.

ABSTRACT Introduction Anomalous perceptions are characterised by the subjective experience of a range of distorted and/or hallucinatory percepts. Whilst considerable attention has been paid to the neurocognitive processes contributing to anomalous perceptions amongst older adults, less is known about the social factors (e.g. social isolation, loneliness). Furthermore, it is unknown whether loneliness

ABSTRACT Introduction: One of the main contributors to cognitive reserve (CR) is the involvement in cognitively stimulating activities (CSAs), including education, work, leisure, social and physical activities. Personality traits are plausible determinants of CR, influencing the tendency to engage in CSAs. The goal of this study was to evaluate the association between personality and CR, operationalised

A comparative study of theory of mind in taxon-like clusters of psychometric schizotypes and individuals at genetic risk for schizophrenia Cogn. Neuropsychiatry. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2022-11-16 Margarita Alfimova, Victoria Plakunova, Vasily Kaleda, Tatyana Lezheiko, Vera Golimbet
ABSTRACT Introduction: Clinical and family studies suggest that alterations of theory of mind (ToM) represent a marker of genetic liability to schizophrenia. Findings regarding ToM in schizotypy are less consistent. The study aimed to explore whether this might be due to an insufficient account of the heterogeneity of schizotypy in prior research and/or the fact that in psychometric schizotypy ToM

A five-year follow-up of the verbal memory performance of individuals with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia: evidence of unchanging deficits under treatment Cogn. Neuropsychiatry.

ABSTRACT Objective: Bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SZ) are chronic and heterogeneous mental disorders that present cognitive and functional impairments. Verbal memory is considered an important predictor of functioning and a domain vulnerable to the aging process. However, only few studies investigate the progression of memory longitudinally in BD and SZ, especially in lower- and middle-income

ABSTRACT Introduction: Social anhedonia (SocAnh) predicts increased risk of schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, with evidence that these disorders are associated with increased creativity. However, it is still largely unknown whether SocAnh is associated with one central aspect of creative thinking, convergent thinking.

Cultural adaptation and validation of the Arabic version of the multidimensional cognitive attentional syndrome scale (MCASS) Cogn. Neuropsychiatry. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2022-09-23 Mai Helmy, Ahmad F. Alenezi, Farzana Ashraf, Kelsey Thomas, Feten Fekih-Romdhane, Rashed Aldoseri, Omar Alhaj, Sally Souraya, Nicola Bragazzi, Haitham Jahrami, Joseph Bardeen
ABSTRACT The cognitive attentional syndrome (CAS) is a core concept within metacognitive theory. The premise of the CAS is related to metacognition, however its role in psychopathology is distinct. Due to the complex nature of the CAS, a theoretically driven and psychometrically sound self-report measure of the CAS for the Arabic population is yet to be developed. We translated the Multidimensional

Cotard delusion, emotional experience and depersonalisation Cogn. Neuropsychiatry. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2022-09-16 Martin Davies, Max Coltheart
ABSTRACT Introduction Cotard delusion—the delusional belief “I am dead”—is named after the French psychiatrist who first described it: Jules Cotard. Ramachandran and Blakeslee proposed that the idea “I am dead” comes to mind when a neuropathological condition has resulted in complete abolition of emotional responsivity to the world. The idea would arise as a putative explanation: if “I am dead” were

ABSTRACT Introduction: Depression and anxiety symptoms are highly prevalent in schizophrenia-spectrum disorders and are commonly associated with schizotypy in non-clinical samples. However, it remains unclear what factors could be contributing to the relationships between schizotypy and anxiety and depression symptoms. Using path analysis, we explored the complex interplay between schizotypy, metacognitive

What is Capgras delusion? Cogn. Neuropsychiatry. (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2021-12-10 Max Coltheart, Martin Davies
ABSTRACT Introduction Capgras delusion is sometimes defined as believing that close relatives have been replaced by strangers. But such replacement beliefs also occur in response to encountering an acquaintance, or the voice of a familiar person, or a pet, or some personal possession. All five scenarios involve believing something familiar has been replaced by something unfamiliar. Methods We evaluate
