“…controls, suggesting either poorer lip-reading abilities or poorer multisensory integration, or a combination of both (Ross, Saint-Amour, Leavitt, Molholm, et al, 2007), though without a visual-only condition in this previous study it is unknown whether lip-reading abilities were actually poorer in individuals with schizophrenia. Individuals with schizophrenia may also be poorer at lip-reading sentences (Myslobodsky, Goldberg, Johnson, Hicks, & Weinberger, 1992) and single words (Schonauer, Achtergarde, & Reker, 1998). Individuals with schizophrenia also show less neural activation compared to controls in response to silent visual speech, specifically with less activation in the posterior inferior temporal cortex, occipital cortical areas, temporal areas, and the inferior frontal gyrus being found (Surguladze et al, 2001).…”
