-Background and Objectives:Several studies have demonstrated that patients with schizophrenia have impaired cognitive functioning. In the literature there have been controversial results about the cognitive deficits occurring in the different states of the illness. Furthermore, there have been relatively few studies to investigate the associations between neurocognitive deficits and clinical status over time.In order to follow the changes of neurocognitive subfunctions during relapse and early remission (clinically stable state), in the present study patients with schizophrenia were tested in the acute phase and in clinically stable state, and then the results were correlated with clinical symptoms.Methods: Forty-two patients diagnosed with schizophrenia based on diagnostic interviews by clinicians and 43 normal controls were studied. Neurocognitive skills were evaluated with six subtests of the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB). Among patients with schizophrenia, symptom severity was assessed with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).Results: Patients with schizophrenia performed significantly worse in all neurocognitive subtests compared to healthy controls at both relapse and clinically stable state. At follow-up these cognitive changes improved, however still marked dysfunctions were observed. The negative symptoms in the PANSS and CANTAB tests were negatively correlated with both results during relapse and clinically stable state.Conclusions: Cognitive impairment exists among patients with schizophrenia compared to healthy subjects during both relapse and early remission suggesting that these deficits might be permanent.

“…This finding can be seen as additional evidence that abnormal subcortical activity contributes to mind-reading deficits in schizophrenia. Although we cannot rule out the possibility that this effect is just a reflection of the generally worse clinical state of the group displaying more psychotic symptoms 47 , we consider these results strong evidence for the hypothesis that positive symptoms are linked to overmentalising. Although the mind-reading impairment in schizophrenia has both “state” and “trait” features, the results of this study suggest that RMET problems in patients with schizophrenia reflect a specific cluster of symptoms rather than a general clinical state.…”

“…Similarly, a longitudinal study reported that patients performed better on the RMET when clinically stable than when in the acute phase of the disorder. Still, in both assessments, patients performed worse than the controls 47 . However, other studies have failed to detect differences between the RMET performance of outpatients and inpatients with schizophrenia 49 or longitudinal differences in a large cohort of first-episode patients followed over three years 32 .…”

“…In another study 46 , no difference was observed between the RMET performance of groups of patients with non-deficit and deficit schizophrenia, with both patient groups being outperformed by healthy controls. Another study by the same research group found an association between negative symptom severity and RMET scores in patients with schizophrenia, both during the acute phase and during remission, but no such relationship for positive symptoms 47 . Moreover, whilst we found that patients with schizophrenia and more-pronounced positive symptoms showed an RMET performance similar to that of patients with MTLE, others 48 found that the pattern of mind-reading impairments observed in high-functioning patients with ASD was more similar to that of schizophrenia patients with negative symptoms than that of patients with paranoia symptoms.…”

Social cognition deficits are observed both in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ) and in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). This may be due to dysfunction of the amygdala network, which is a common feature of both diseases. In this study, SCZ (n = 48) or MTLE (n = 31) and healthy controls (HC, n = 47) completed assessments of mentalising (Reading Mind in the Eyes Test, RMET) and basic cognitive processing, e.g., working memory, executive functions and psychomotor speed (Trail-Making Test B and Digit Symbol). SCZ were also assessed with the Positive And Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). We found that the RMET scores of the two clinical groups were similar (p > 0.05) and lower than in the HCs (SCZ: p < 0.05; MTLE: p < 0.001). In the next step, SCZ were split into two groups with respect to the level of symptoms. Analysis of the RMET scores revealed no differences between the HC (M = 25.7 ± 4.1) and POS-LO (M = 25.3 ± 4.8); both groups outperformed the POS-HI group (M = 21.3 ± 5.2) and the MTLE group (M = 20.8 ± 4.6). No differences were found for the median-split with regard to negative symptoms. In SCZ, the mind-reading deficit appears to be associated with the level of positive symptoms. Both POS-HI and MTLE patients present significant mentalising deficits compared to healthy controls.

ResumenBúsqueda de instrumentos de evaluación y programas de entrenamiento de la cognición social (CS) en beneficio de la rehabilitación del paciente con esquizofrenia. Se utiliza la metodología Prisma realizando una revisión en bases de datos Scopus, ISI y ApaPsycNet, años 2010-2017, considerando como criterio de inclusión investigaciones donde se utilizan instrumentos con fines evaluativos y programas de rehabilitación de los diversos subdominios de la CS, para personas con esquizofrenia. Se ubican 290 artículos y se seleccionan 195, los cuales se revisan en su totalidad. Se establece una síntesis de 37 instrumentos y se describen 10 programas de rehabilitación de la CS. Se concluye en la necesidad de explicitar mayormente en la literatura científica las propiedades, fiabilidad y validez de los test utilizados a fin de medir lo que se desea medir. También, describir los programas utilizados en beneficio de la rehabilitación de la CS del paciente con esquizofrenia. Palabras clave: cognición social, instrumentos de evaluación, programas de rehabilitación, esquizofrenia. AbstractResearch is done regarding evaluation instruments and training programs of social cognition in benefit of the rehabilitation processes of patients with schizophrenia.The PRiSM methodology is used, reviewing the Scopus, ISI and ApaPsycNet journals databases, between 2010 and 2017, considering as inclusion criteria pieces of research where instruments with evaluative purposes and rehabilitation programs of the different sub-domains of social cognition for people with schizophrenia are used. 290 articles are found, and 195 which are thoroughly examined, are selected. A summary of 37 instruments is established, and 10 rehabilitation programs of social cognition are described.It is concluded that it is necessary to explicitly state in the literature the properties, reliability and validity of the tests used, so as to measure what is intended to be measured. Also, it is important to describe the programs used in benefit of the social cognition rehabilitation of the patient with schizophrenia. MetodologíaSe realiza un estudio descriptivo-analítico en base a la metodología PRISMA (Urrútia & Bonfill, 2010;Santelices et al. 2016), de artículos que incluyen instrumentos y programas de rehabilitación de la CS, en bases de datos de revistas Scopus, ISI y ApaPsycNet, entre los años 2010 y 2017. Como estrategia de búsqueda se asocian las palabras cognición social y esquizofrenia, en español y en inglés, bajo la consideración del título y del resumen del artículo. Se seleccionan artículos que incluyen instrumentos de evaluación y/o programas de rehabilitación de la cognición social en personas con esquizofrenia. Se leen en su totalidad. Los instrumentos se agrupan según la dimensión de la CS que evalúan, se releva el formato que presentan y sus características psicométricas. Cuando en la búsqueda primaria no se explicitan esas características, se realiza una búsqueda en fuentes secundarias. Por último, se filtran y seleccionan aquellos test que muestran e...
