Patients with schizophrenia display alterations in social cognition, as well
as in the realm of neurocognition. It is still unclear to what extent these
two cognitive domains represent two separate dimensions or different
expressions of a unified deficit. Tasks used to assess social cognition
subcomponents cover basic social cognition, such as mentalisation, data
collection and making conclusions, source monitoring and characteristics of
life-styles. The variety of findings of various studies is probably related
to the fact that most studies considered social cognition as one-dimensional
construct represented, for example, by unique measurements of emotional
recognition. Research results dealing with social cognition suggest that the
impairment of social cognition is the characteristic feature of schizophrenia
and have important implications for the development, course and outcome of
this disorder.
