Emotion perception in schizophrenia: Specific deficit or further evidence of generalized poor performance?

Kerr, Sandra L., Neale, John M.·1993·Journal of Abnormal Psychology

Abstract

Several studies have investigated the ability of schizophrenics to perceive facial and vocal emotion in others. Although most suggest that schizophrenics have an emotion perception deficit, there is little agreement as to its specific nature. Much of the confusion may be attributed to the failure of investigators to use the differential deficit design and standardized measures of emotion perception. The present study reexamined the question of an emotion recognition deficit in a sample of 29 unmedicated schizophrenics and 23 normal controls, using facial and vocal emotion identification and discrimination tests that have been standardized and cross-validated plus two neuropsychological control tests. Results suggested that differences between schizophrenics and normals on such tasks reflect a generalized performance deficit, rather than a specific emotion recognition deficit.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Deficits in object recognition, grouping, perceptual closure, face processing, and reading occur in schizophrenia.

    “These include deficits in object recognition, grouping, perceptual closure, face processing, and reading (54–62).”

  • There are numerous examples of poor form processing in schizophrenia that would seem to directly implicate integration deficits.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
