Exploring the cognitive profiles related to unimodal auditory versus multisensory hallucinations in schizophrenia-spectrum disorders
CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary results suggest that impaired visual learning may be related to MH. This could be attributed to the presence of visual hallucinations (VH), or greater psychopathology, in this group. However, replication is needed, as well as the investigation of other potential cognitive mechanisms of MH.PMID:38345024 | DOI:10.1080/13546805.2024.2314941 (Source: Cognitive Neuropsychiatry)

Neurocognition across bipolar disorder phases compared to healthy subjects
CONCLUSION: Cognitive performance in patients with BD appears to be mostly unrelated to the phase of the disorder, implying that cognitive dysfunction in BD is present even during remission.PMID:38335235 | DOI:10.1080/13546805.2024.2313387 (Source: Cognitive Neuropsychiatry)

Schizotypy and perceptual span in a non-clinical sample: a virtual reality study
CONCLUSION: The results support the hypothesis that schizotypy predicts perceptual span in non-clinical samples. Furthermore, the demonstration of a reduced perceptual span in individuals with higher trait schizotypy shows that variations in an individual's capacity to divide attention across space can be accurately captured using a virtual reality head-mounted display.PMID:38319062 | DOI:10.1080/13546805.2024.2313470 (Source: Cognitive Neuropsychiatry)

The association between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and executive functioning
Conclusion: The severity of PTSD is positively correlated with executive function disturbances, but the observed disturbances, especially in working memory updating, can be explained mainly by the high level of depression, rather than by PTSD alone.PMID:38308862 | DOI:10.1080/13546805.2024.2313461 (Source: Cognitive Neuropsychiatry)

Immediate post performance judgements about cognitive performance in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder: associations with test performance and subjective overall judgments regarding abilities
CONCLUSIONS: While both groups showed correlations between cognitive performance and introspective accuracy, individuals with bipolar disorder showed higher accuracy in assessing their cognitive performance and other outcomes. Notably, impairments in introspective accuracy were associated with observer-rated functioning exclusively in bipolar disorder.PMID:37942934 | PMC:PMC10841634 | DOI:10.1080/13546805.2023.2276972 (Source: Cognitive Neuropsychiatry)
