Spontaneous perspective-taking and its relation to schizotypy
CONCLUSIONS: Unlike explicit mentalising, this form of implicit mentalising is not affected by nonclinical manifestations of schizotypy traits. This implies that impairment of general neurocognitive function contributes to altered spontaneous perspective-taking in schizophrenia. A novel account based on the cognitive control processes involved in perspective selection and the role of attention in perspective calculation reconciles apparently contradictory findings of earlier studies comparing patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls.PMID:36924343 | DOI:10.1080/13546805.2023.2189575 (Source: Cognitive Neuropsychiatry)
