“…If this were the case, the findings from the current study would indicate that any improvement in context appraisal is less likely to be generalized into an improvement in emotional recognition. This is consistent with the previous reports of limited generalizability (Bellack, Blanchard, Murphy, & Podell, 1996;Benedict et al, 1994;Penn & Comb, 2000) and suggests that SCET should place more weight on improving patients' ability to perceive the emotions of others.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether social cognition enhancement training (SCET) is effective in improving social context appraisal and perspective-taking abilities of patients with schizophrenia. A total of 34 patients were randomly assigned to receive SCET plus standard psychiatric rehabilitation training or standard psychiatric rehabilitation training only. SCET was conducted twice weekly on a group basis for 6 months. Some social cognitive abilities were improved rapidly after 2-month treatment whereas some improved only after 6-month treatment. These results show promise for the impact of SCET on the social cognitive functioning of individuals with chronic schizophrenia, and further investigation is merited.

“…Twelve studies were excluded because the intervention involved the training of a single paradigm or the training of tasks that were also used as the outcome measures (Bellack et al 1990(Bellack et al , 1996Green et al 1992;Metz et al 1994;Tompkins et al 1995;Vollema et al 1995;Young and Freyslinger 1995;Nisbet et al 1996;Rossell and David 1997;Stratta et al 1997;Hellman et al 1998;O'Carroll et al 1999). One study by Medalia et al (2000a) was excluded because the study group consisted of patients with different diagnoses.…”

“…Recently, WCST has also been used in studying the pathophysiological basis of schizophrenia [7, 54, 55]. In addition, whether the failure in WCST of patients with schizophrenia is the same as that in patients with impaired frontal lobe has also been discussed [56–58]. Keefe [59] believed that, in order to pass the WCST examination, the patient has to possess normal memory, auditory attention, visual attention, ability to learn patterns, abstraction, classification, operating memory, and execution control that can operate a number of recognition functions simultaneously.…”

Patients with schizophrenia suffer from symptoms such as hallucination and delusion. There are currently a number of publications that discuss the treatment, diagnosis, prognosis, and damage in schizophrenia. This study utilized joint independent component analysis to process the images of GMV and WMV and incorporated the Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST) and the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) to examine the correlation of obtained brain characteristics. We also used PANSS score to classify schizophrenic patients into acute and subacute cases, to analyze the brain structure differences. Finally, we used brain structure images and the error rate of the WCST as eigenvalues in support vector machine learning and classification. The results of this study showed that the frontal and temporal lobes of a normal brain are more apparent than those of a schizophrenia brain. The highest level of classification recognition reached 91.575%, indicating that the WCST error rate and characteristic changes in brain structure volume can be used to effectively distinguish schizophrenia and normal brains. Similarly, this result confirmed that the WCST and brain structure volume are correlated with the differences between schizophrenia and normal participants.
