Abstract:
Previous research has reported that patients with schizophrenia would regard false memories with higher confidence, and this meta-memory deficit was suggested as a neurocognitive marker of schizophrenia. 27 schizophrenia patients and 28 matched healthy controls performed a temporal-order judgment (TOJ) task. Mixed effect regression models were performed to assess the between-group metacognitive evaluation strategy difference and its relationship to clinical symptoms. Compared to the control group, the patients confidence ratings were correlated more with the recent confidence history and less with the TOJ-related evidence. The present investigation revealed that schizophrenia patients tend to use more heuristics in making meta-memory evaluations, and such atypical strategy is related to their clinical symptoms. Future research could consider examining such metacognitive deficits in light of other cognitive domains in psychosis.
