“…Cognitive impairments, such as those described in the previous sentence, are cardinal symptoms of schizophrenia (Frith, 1992;Green, 1996;Green et al, 2008;Lysaker et al, 2005;Penn et al, 1997). Neurocognition, social cognition, and metacognition represent separate-but related-types of cognitive impairments (Allen et al, 2007;Fanning et al, 2012;Lysaker et al, 2013;Pinkham et al, 2003).…”

“…It has been suggested that adequate neurocognition is a necessary, but not sufficient, requirement for exhibiting more complex abilities such as social cognition and metacognition (Fanning et al, 2012;Penn et al, 1997;Lysaker et al, 2010). If this is the case, a person with schizophrenia who demonstrates effective neurocognition calls on these abilities when they connect social situational factors and perceptions (or discrete and synthetic acts for metacognition) to draw inferences, whereas those with poor neurocognition are unable to make these connections.…”

Disentangling links between neurocognition, social cognition, and metacognition offers the potential to improve interventions for these cognitive processes. Disorganized symptoms have shown promise for explaining the limiting relationship that neurocognition holds with both social cognition and metacognition. In this study, primary aims included: 1) testing whether conceptual disorganization, a specific disorganized symptom, moderated relationships between cognitive processes, and 2) examining the level of conceptual disorganization necessary for links between cognitive processes to break down. To accomplish these aims, comprehensive assessments of conceptual disorganization, neurocognition, social cognition, and metacognition were administered to 67 people with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. We found that conceptual disorganization significantly moderated the relationship between neurocognition and metacognition, with links between cognitive processes weakening when conceptual disorganization is present even at minimal levels of severity. There was no evidence that conceptual disorganization-or any other specific disorganized symptom-drove the limiting relationship of neurocognition on social cognition. Based on our findings, conceptual disorganization appears to be a critical piece of the puzzle when disentangling the relationship between neurocognition and metacognition. Roles of specific disorganized symptoms in the neurocognition -social cognition relationship were less clear. Findings from this study suggest that disorganized symptoms are an important treatment consideration when aiming to improve cognitive impairments.

“…Current depressive symptoms and interpersonal difficulties, that is, the ability to form close and meaningful relationships with others, are the most common complaints service users bring to therapy (Horowitz et al 1988). Research has shown that interpersonal problems can result in reduced coping strategies, reduced social supports and reduce the likelihood of recovery (Penn et al 1997).…”

Objectives. This study explores rates of a history of childhood trauma in adult patients with bipolar disorder and depression and the impact of such trauma and parental bonding patterns on depressive mood and interpersonal functioning at the time of assessment. Methods.A cross-sectional design was used and a sample of 49 participants was recruited from a mental health outpatient service in Northern Ireland. Data were subject to correlations, one-way analysis of variance and hierarchal regression analyses. A cut-off point of r = ± 0.25 was used to select variables for inclusion in the hierarchal regression analyses.Results. High rates of childhood trauma were present in both samples: 74% in bipolar disorder and 82% in depression. Childhood trauma and poor parental bonding (with mother) were significant predictors of higher rates of current inter-episode depressive mood and interpersonal difficulties.Conclusions. This finding adds to the evidence that routine assessment of early childhood experience is likely to prove helpful in clinical care.

“…Social cognition deficits have been widely documented in individuals with schizophrenia (Penn et al 1997 ;Couture et al 2006). One important component of social cognition that has been extensively studied in schizophrenia patients is the ability to recognize emotions in the faces of others (Mandal et al 1998 ;Whittaker et al 2001 ;Edwards et al 2002 ;Hooker & Park, 2002 ;Bolte & Poustka, 2003 ;Kohler et al 2003 ;Schneider et al 2006 ;Pinkham et al 2007 ;PomarolClotet et al 2010).…”

Facial emotion recognition in adolescents with psychotic-like experiences: a school-based sample from the general population

et al. 2012

BackgroundPsychotic symptoms, also termed psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in the absence of psychotic disorder, are common in adolescents and are associated with increased risk of schizophrenia-spectrum illness in adulthood. At the same time, schizophrenia is associated with deficits in social cognition, with deficits particularly documented in facial emotion recognition (FER). However, little is known about the relationship between PLEs and FER abilities, with only one previous prospective study examining the association between these abilities in childhood and reported PLEs in adolescence. The current study was a cross-sectional investigation of the association between PLEs and FER in a sample of Irish adolescents.MethodThe Adolescent Psychotic-Like Symptom Screener (APSS), a self-report measure of PLEs, and the Penn Emotion Recognition-40 Test (Penn ER-40), a measure of facial emotion recognition, were completed by 793 children aged 10–13 years.ResultsChildren who reported PLEs performed significantly more poorly on FER (β=−0.03, p=0.035). Recognition of sad faces was the major driver of effects, with children performing particularly poorly when identifying this expression (β=−0.08, p=0.032).ConclusionsThe current findings show that PLEs are associated with poorer FER. Further work is needed to elucidate causal relationships with implications for the design of future interventions for those at risk of developing psychosis.
