Background. The authors' goal was to investigate the presence or absence of theory mind impairments among people with schizophrenia during remission. Recent research results interpret deficits as state rather than trait characteristics, connecting these mainly acute episode psychosis. Methods. Twenty patients in remission and 20 matched control subjects were evaluated. Participants presented one first-order task, second-order two metaphor irony tasks adapted from previous studies. Results....
Background: Theory of Mind (ToM) is an ability to understand and interpret another person’s beliefs, emotions, intentions. ToM requires both cognitive emotional perspective taking deficient in several neuropsychiatric disorders all connected with impaired social functioning. Cognitive mood dysfunctions have been recognized as common symptoms multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: We investigated cognition 40 ambulatory patients MS compared 35 healthy controls by using verbal non‐verbal tests...
We tested the association between theory of mind (ToM) performance and structural changes in brains patients early course schizophrenia.Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) data 18 with schizophrenia were compared those 21 controls. ToM skills assessed by computerized faux pas (FP) tasks.Patients performed significantly worse FP tasks than healthy subjects. VBM revealed reduced gray matter density certain frontal, temporal subcortical regions schizophrenia. Poor schizophrenics correlated reduction...
Recent approaches to the 'theory of mind' and pragmatics support that, if we did not have any idea about what other people know, could hardly use language effectively. Successful communication (the pragmatic aspect language) depends on inferring beliefs intentions partner in conversation. Such successful is linguistically realized part by cohesion abiding maxims derived from cooperative principle. However, violations Gricean implicatures are generally used everyday language, mainly point at...
Objectives Theory of mind (ToM) has been proved to play a crucial role in social cognition and functioning. In our study, higher order mentalization performance euthymic bipolar I patients were compared with that healthy controls. The impact demographic data, course the disorder patients’ current functioning also considered while interpreting data. Methods mentalizing (computerized faux pas task false irony task), neurocognitive functioning, IQ twenty-three 31 matched (IQ, age) controls...
BACKGROUND: Intentional Mind Wandering (IMW) is proposed to be a low arousal state resulting from boredom, distinguish it unintentional mind wandering (UMW), which may executive control exhaustion of resources. AIM: To demonstrate that there are objective differences between IMW and UMW reflecting the subjective difference effort high predictability strategy. METHODS: The metronome response task (MRT) requires participants predict when next tone in regular series will occur. Inter-Trial...
Introduction Irony is a form of speech used to convey feelings in an indirect way. Patients with schizophrenia demonstrated impaired irony processing, associated poor theory mind. Aims We fMRI examine neural circuitry underlying deficits understanding schizophrenia. Methods 11 right-handed patients paranoid and healthy subjects were studied. Participants asked listen short scenarios. The 15 condition consisted ironic statement, the control was physical causality. event-related design. Every...
The endophenotype concept of schizophrenia represents an important approach in the exploration neurobiology illness. An characteristic endophenotype, that it can be found among healthy, first-degree relatives patients with schizophrenia. We evaluated two systematic reviews studies on potential endophenotypes (theory mind and informative morphogenetic variants) to confirm possibility them as biological cognitive markers planned explore data from theory variant patients. researches published...
Introduction Irony is a form of speech used to convey feelings in an indirect way. Schizophrenic patients usually demonstrate impaired irony processing, associated with poor theory mind. Aims We fMRI examine neural circuitry underlying deficits understanding schizophrenia. Methods 21 schizophrenic and 24 healthy subjects were studied. Short scenarios three conditions used: condition (IC), linguistic help (IHC), control (CC). event-related design. Scenarios started contextual part, followed...
Pragmatic language skills were examined in schizophrenia patients compared to IQ-matched control subjects measured by the decoding of flouting four Gricean maxims. 19 schizophrenic and matched controls evaluated. Five experimental conditions (all included stories) used, such as "quantity maxim" (QNM) condition, "quality (QLM) "relevance (RM) "manner (MM) condition "control" (C) condition. An investigator presented stories asked for hidden communicative intentions. PANSS scores general...
Background: Patients with schizophrenia have difficulties in representing the mental states of others. capacity to appreciate others’ is called Theory Mind (ToM). Usually patients remission are able pass first- and second order ToM tasks, but they understanding more complex situations. A faux pas (FP) task contains a social situation when someone says something he or she should not said, awkward. Understanding these situations requires higher-order skills. our study tasks were used assess...
BACKGROUND: In a go/no-go task, lengthening the time between stimuli (e.g. changes to inter-trial interval (ITI) or press percentage (PP)) are known have decelerating effects on rapid reaction times and possibly thought probe response time. The cause for these delays may be mind wandering (MW). MW-induced theoretically arise from serial mental resources being decoupled, leading poor stimulus detection perception. AIMS: To see whether delaying of ITI PP mediated by (MW), explore mechanisms...
In a go/no-go task, lengthening the inter-trial interval (ITI) or decreasing press percentage (PP) are known to have decelerating effects on both reaction time and thought probe response time. The mental causes of these delays remain obscure. We performed an 18-minute online experiment with 60 participants who each 8 versions attention task (Test Variables Attention, ToVA) different ITIs PPs. After block there were mind wandering (MW) probes rating scales for subjective effort awareness. A...
