Social Cognition in schizophrenia
Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2015Co-Authors: Michael F Green, William P. Horan, Junghee LeeAbstract:Social Cognition in schizophrenia is a rapidly emerging area of study. Because the number and diversity of studies in this area have increased, efforts have been made to better define terms and provide organizing frameworks. A key challenge confronting the study of Social Cognition in schizophrenia is building bridges between clinical scientists and Social neuroscientists. The articles in this theme summarize data-based studies that have attempted to build or strengthen such bridges to better understand the neural bases of Social cognitive impairment in schizophrenia.

Social Cognition in Schizophrenia
Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2010Co-Authors: Michael F Green, William P. HoranAbstract:Social Cognition has become a rapidly growing area of schizophrenia research. Individuals with schizophrenia show substantial and persistent impairments in a range of Social cognitive domains, including emotion processing, Social perception, attributional bias, and theory of mind. The Social cognitive impairment in schizophrenia is associated with, but separable from, impairments in (nonSocial) neuroCognition such as attention, memory, and problem solving. Social Cognition is a key determinant of functional disability of schizophrenia; it acts as a mediator between neuroCognition and functional outcome, and it contributes unique information about functional outcome beyond that provided by neuroCognition. Efforts to develop interventions to improve Social cognitive impairments through new pharmacological and training approaches are under way.

Social Cognition in schizophrenia relationships with neuroCognition and negative symptoms
Schizophrenia Research, 2007Co-Authors: Mark J. Sergi, Clifford Widmark, Stephen Erhart, Stephen R Marder, Christopher Reist, David L Braff, Yuri Rassovsky, Michael F GreenAbstract:Despite the growing importance of Social Cognition in schizophrenia, fundamental issues concerning the nature of Social Cognition in schizophrenia remain unanswered. One issue concerns the strength of the relationships between Social Cognition and key features of the disorder such as neurocognitive deficits and negative symptoms. The current study employed structural equation modeling to examine three key questions regarding the nature of Social Cognition in schizophrenia: 1) Are Social Cognition and neuroCognition in schizophrenia better modeled as one or two separate constructs? 2) Are Social Cognition and negative symptoms in schizophrenia better modeled as one or two separate constructs?, and 3) When Social Cognition, neuroCognition, and negative symptoms are included in a single model, is Social Cognition more closely related to neuroCognition or to negative symptoms? In this cross sectional study, one hundred outpatients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder were administered measures of Social Cognition, neuroCognition, and negative symptoms. A two-factor model that represented Social Cognition and neuroCognition as separate constructs fit the data significantly better than a one-factor model, suggesting that Social Cognition and neuroCognition are distinct, yet highly related, constructs. Likewise, a two-factor model that represented Social Cognition and negative symptoms as separate constructs fit the data significantly better than a one-factor model, suggesting that Social Cognition and negative symptoms are distinct constructs. A three-factor model revealed that the relationship between Social Cognition and neuroCognition was stronger than the relationship between Social Cognition and negative symptoms. The current findings start to provide insights into the structure of Social Cognition, neuroCognition, and negative symptoms in schizophrenia.

can Social interaction constitute Social Cognition
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2010Co-Authors: Hanne De Jaegher, Shaun Gallagher, Ezequiel A Di PaoloAbstract:An important shift is taking place in Social Cognition research, away from a focus on the individual mind and toward embodied and participatory aspects of Social understanding. Empirical results already imply that Social Cognition is not reducible to the workings of individual cognitive mechanisms. To galvanize this interactive turn, we provide an operational definition of Social interaction and distinguish the different explanatory roles – contextual, enabling and constitutive – it can play in Social Cognition. We show that interactive processes are more than a context for Social Cognition: they can complement and even replace individual mechanisms. This new explanatory power of Social interaction can push the field forward by expanding the possibilities of scientific explanation beyond the individual.

Social Cognition and Social robots
Pragmatics & Cognition, 2007Co-Authors: Shaun GallagherAbstract:Social robots are robots designed to interact with humans or with each other in ways that approximate human Social interaction. It seems clear that one question relevant to the project of designing such robots concerns how humans themselves interact to achieve Social understanding. If we turn to psychology, philosophy, or the cognitive sciences in general, we find two models of Social Cognition vying for dominance under the heading of theory of mind: theory theory (TT) and simulation theory (ST). It is therefore natural and interesting to ask how a TT design for a Social robot would differ from the ST version. I think that a much more critical question is whether either TT or ST provide an adequate explanation of Social Cognition. There is a growing although still minority consensus that, despite their dominance in the debate about Social Cognition, neither TT nor ST, nor some hybrid version of these theories, offers an acceptable account of how we encounter and interact with one another. In this paper I will give a brief review of the theory of mind debate, outline an alternative theory of Social Cognition based on an embodied interactive approach, and then try to draw out a few implications about Social robotics.

Social Cognition in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder adhd
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2010Co-Authors: J. Uekermann, I Daum, Benno G Schimmelmann, Johannes Hebebrand, Markus Kraemer, Mona Abdelhamid, Joerg WiltfangAbstract:Abstract Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with a range of cognitive deficits and Social Cognition impairments, which might be interpreted in the context of fronto-striatal dysfunction. So far only few studies have addressed the issue of Social Cognition deficits in ADHD. Method Medline and Psyclit searches were performed for a 30-year period (1979–2009) using the words ‘ADHD’ and ‘Social Cognition’, ‘theory of mind’, ‘prosody’, ‘face perception’, ‘humour’ or ‘Social information processing’. Inclusion criteria consisted of a diagnosis according to DSM as well as the inclusion of a control group or a follow-up assessment following the treatment with methylphenidate. Results ADHD is clearly associated with Social Cognition impairments involving emotional face and prosody perception. Although the database is sparse so far, there is some evidence for theory of mind deficits and reduced empathy in ADHD. Conclusions In summary, the Social Cognition impairments are consistent with fronto-striatal dysfunction in ADHD, but other functional networks of brain areas also appear to be implicated.
