“…Looking at larger psychological phenomena, others have found difficulties reflecting on broader cognitive habits, such as reasoning style [37] as well as the ability to pull together autobiographical memories into a meaningful whole [38][39][40]. Importantly, the idea of a spectrum may also help clarify slightly different applications of the term metacognition with some authors concerned with the detection of errors [34] or reflections about specific beliefs, [29] and others, as will be explored in this review, with reflections about various integrations of thoughts and feelings into representations of self.…”

Deficits in metacognitive capacity in schizophrenia can be conceptualized as existing along a spectrum from more discrete to more synthetic activities. These capacities may be of great importance in schizophrenia research given their potential to mediate and moderate the impact of illness-related factors on outcome. To explore this possibility this review summarizes research on synthetic metacognition using a paradigm in which metacognitive capacity is rated on the basis of spontaneously produced personal narratives. Evidence from a review of the literature shows that these deficits are detectable in patients with schizophrenia and are related to, but not reducible to, symptom severity and poorer neurocognitive function. Independent of symptoms and neurocognition, deficits in synthetic metacognition, which are likely linked to the brain's ability to integrate information, are related to a range of outcomes including functional competence, learning potential, and insight. These deficits may also play a role in long term psychosocial functioning via their impact on the ability to sustain social functions.

“…There may be lesser recall of specific or well-defined memories, and a tendency to recall more public than private events (Cuervo-Lombard et al, 2007; Raffard et al, 2010). Further, the specific AM of patients with schizophrenia are less consistent with the overall self-image they endorse and the self lacks agency; this suggests a deficit not just in retrieving memories but also in integrating different aspects of identity into a coherent whole (Bennouna-Greene et al, 2012). …”

“…Similarly, impoverished recall of negatively cued episodic memories amongst patients has also been reported in other paradigms (Peters, Hauschildt, Moritz, & Jelinek, ). Whilst two AMT studies have failed to replicate these valence‐specific effects (Kaney, Bowen‐Jones, & Bentall, ; Wood, Brewin, & McLeod, ), most studies have not reported any analysis of it (Bennouna‐Greene et al ., ; Berna et al ., ; Cuervo‐Lombard et al ., ; D'Argembeau, Raffard, & Van der Linden, ; Danion et al ., ; Mehl, Rief, Mink, Lüllmann, & Lincoln, ; Potheegadoo, Berna, Cuervo‐Lombard, & Danion, ; Potheegadoo, Cordier, Berna, & Danion, ; Raffard et al ., ; Ricarte, Hernández, Latorre, Danion, & Berna, ; Riutort, Cuervo, Danion, Peretti, & Salamé, ; Vorontsova, Garety, & Freeman, ). Further clarification of these possible valence‐specific effects is therefore warranted.…”

Objectives People with schizophrenia have difficulty recalling specific autobiographical events from their past. However, the nature of this difficulty (e.g., whether these problems are only for memories that are negative or positive) and the mechanisms associated with it remain poorly understood. Methods The present investigation asked patients with schizophrenia (n = 91) and healthy controls (n = 109) to recall memories related to several positive and negative cue words. Participants also completed self‐report measures of rumination and depressive symptoms and a measure of verbal fluency to assess executive functioning. Participants' memories were coded for specificity (whether or not they referred to a specific event lasting <24 hr) and valence (positive vs. negative). Results Patients recalled fewer specific memories than controls and they showed particular difficulty recalling specific negative memories cued by negative words. For healthy controls, impoverished verbal fluency was associated with recall of fewer specific memories and particularly recall of fewer positive specific memories. These variables were unrelated to specificity amongst patients. Rumination was not associated with specificity in either group. Conclusions These findings are discussed with reference to other mechanisms that might contribute towards reduced specificity in schizophrenia, such as the tendency to avoid negative affect, and the implications of this for interventions for schizophrenia and memory specificity problems. Practitioner points The experience of schizophrenia is associated with problems recalling specific events from one's past. In particular, patients have difficulty recalling specific negative memories from their past. These memory problems are independent of executive functioning difficulties, ruminative tendencies, and also depression symptoms. Interventions for memory problems in schizophrenia must target the difficulty people have in recalling specific negative events.
