“…It is also possible that some psychotic patients were excluded due to low MMSE scores as often psychotic syndromes are associated with severe cognitive impairments. 56 The discussion around laterality and psychotic manifestations was inaugurated by the seminal work of Flor-Henry. 57 He used data from the Maudsley archives to compare 50 TLE patients with psychotic episodes to 50 randomly selected TLE patients and found an increased predisposition to psychosis if the dominant hemisphere was affected.…”

TLE is related to a high frequency of psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety and depression, which are usually underdiagnosed and undertreated. Damage to the left mesial temporal lobe, seen in LMTS, seems to be an important pathogenic lesion linked to a broad range of psychopathological features in TLE, mainly anxiety disorders. The present study prompts discussion on the recognition of the common psychiatric disorders in TLE, especially on the Brazilian setting.

“…This would be comparable to the different levels of complexity of thought and reasoning distinguished by Piaget and suggested by him to relate to several different cognitive stages of development (17). Torres and colleagues (18) referred to Piaget's theory of intelligence and the development of thought in a study that compared a group of schizophrenic patients with a group of healthy controls using the Longeot Logical Thought Evaluation Scale, which is a non-verbal psychometric instrument. Their results showed marked differences between the two groups, with the schizophrenic patients performing at lower cognitive levels as compared with the control group.…”

“…The results suggest that developmental factors might influence the uptake of such beliefs; formal logical operations begin developing in early adolescence (Klaczynski et al, 1998), and it might be possible that for adolescents whose cognitive development is delayed, affected by dysfunction, or for those with lower cognitive ability, conspiracy theory beliefs are more likely to develop during this time. Given that schizophrenia is reported to affect cognitive development and disrupt the transition from concrete operations to logical‐formal thought (Torres et al, 2007), it is possible that subclinical pathological factors, such as schizotypy and delusional thinking could explain the relationship between age and belief in conspiracy theories.…”

IntroductionWhile the study of conspiracy theory beliefs is a relatively new research area, there has been a rise in academic interest in recent years. The literature provides evidence of relationships between conspiracy theory beliefs and a range of factors, but the vast majority of studies are limited to adult samples, and it is unclear how such beliefs present in adolescence.MethodsThe systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA‐S format. Relevant databases were searched up to February 23, 2023, for quantitative studies related to adolescent conspiracy theory beliefs.ResultsThe six included articles show that conspiracy theory beliefs are present from the start of adolescence, and stable from age 14 upwards, with correlations reported for mistrust and paranoid thinking. Negative relationships were reported for cognitive factors such as ontological confusion, cognitive ability, and actively open‐minded thinking. Health‐related beliefs correlated with adverse childhood experiences, peer problems, conduct, and sociodemographic factors. Right‐wing authoritarianism and anxiety positively correlated with intergroup conspiracy theory beliefs.ConclusionWhile some factors from adult studies are replicated in the review, there are differences between age groups. The age at which conspiracy theory beliefs begin to form indicate developmental aspects of adolescence, and possibly childhood, that require further examination. Cognitive factors show promise for interventions and should be explored further. However, the lack of studies using adolescent populations is an issue that must be resolved for a greater understanding of conspiracy theory beliefs and a move toward effective interventions.
