Emotion perception in schizophrenia: specific deficit or further evidence of generalized poor performance?

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine if an emotion perception deficit is responsible for schizophrenics' inability to perceive facial and vocal emotion. Control subjects and schizophrenics tested on facial and vocal emotion identification and discrimination using cross-validated and standardized instruments. They were also made to undergo neuropsychological control tests. Results indicate that a generalized performance deficit, rather than an emotion recognition deficit, is a more likely explanation for the differences observed between schizophrenics and normal individuals.

Monoaural and binaural story recall by schizophrenic subjects

Article Abstract:

A study to replicate the findings of P. Green's experiment concerning monoaural asymmetry and binaural deficit in schizophrenics was conducted. The subjects of the study numbered 60 including 22 control subjects. The only difference in the study is that the scoring is more rigorous when compared to the original experiment. Results did not replicate the findings of P. Green's experiment and this was attributed to scoring.

Medication status of participants in psychopathology research: selective review of current reporting practices

Article Abstract:

A report stressing the importance of reporting the psychoactive medication status of subjects participating in experiments was generated. A review of the articles that has appeared in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology in a five-year period indicates that nearly half of those articles dealing with adult psychopathology does not accurately report the medication status of subjects.
