Abstract Hyperactivation of amygdala is a neural marker for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and improvement in control over activity has been associated with treatment success PTSD. In this randomized, double-blind clinical trial we evaluated the efficacy real-time fMRI neurofeedback intervention designed to train following trauma recall. Twenty-five patients PTSD completed three sessions training which they attempted downregulate feedback signal after exposure personalized scripts....
False recognition, or the mis-categorization of a new stimulus as old, might support fixed false beliefs by blocking learning otherwise contributing to internal representations world that are at odds with reality. However, mechanisms through which recognition is facilitated among paranoid individuals remain unclear. We examined 2 phenomena may contribute this effect: an overreliance on fluency-based processes during manifesting lower threshold for judging items recently studied, and...
Status threat (i.e., concern that one’s dominant social group will be undermined by outsiders) is a significant factor in current United States politics. While demographic factors such as race (e.g., Whiteness) and political affiliation conservatism) tend to associated with heightened levels of status threat, its psychological facets have yet fully characterized. Informed “paranoid” model American politics, we explored suite possible associates perceived including race/ethnicity,...
Novelty detection is critical to the effective employment of memory-guided behavior. While recent work has found impaired novelty in subclinical paranoia, other studies show different patterns. Here, we tested hypothesis that those higher paranoia receive less benefit from their immediate environment when making subsequent mnemonic judgments. Using a continuous recognition task (comprising Old, New, and Similar items) sample drawn an online marketplace (N = 450), trial performance was...
Schizophrenia is characterized by memory impairments, yet the relationships between its distinct symptom clusters (i.e., positive, negative, disorganized) and specific aspects of dysfunction remain poorly characterized. In present study, we compiled a large analog sample (N = 795) to test whether positive symptoms, versus negative disorganized were uniquely differentially related false alarm miss errors during recognition memory. Mixed-effects beta regression analyses revealed that both...
