Journal ArticleDOI
Schizophrenia, symptomatology and social inference: Investigating “theory of mind” in people with schizophrenia
TL;DR: The notion that some patients with schizophrenia have difficulties with tasks requiring 'theory of mind' skills and that this deficiency is symptom specific is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal correlates of theory of mind and empathy: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study in a nonverbal task
Birgit Völlm,Alexander N.W. Taylor,Paul Richardson,Rhiannon Corcoran,John D. Stirling,Shane McKie,John Francis William Deakin,Rebecca Elliott +7 more
TL;DR: This fMRI study used a cartoon task derived from Sarfati et al. (1997) to suggest that ToM and empathy both rely on networks associated with making inferences about mental states of others, but empathic responding requires the additional recruitment of networks involved in emotional processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persecutory delusions: a review and theoretical integration.
TL;DR: It is argued that biases in this cycle cause negative events to be attributed to external agents and hence contribute to the building of a paranoid world view, and a new integrative model is proposed that builds on this work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring 'theory of mind' in people with schizophrenia.
Chris D. Frith,Rhiannon Corcoran +1 more
TL;DR: Mentalizing ability was studied in symptomatic schizophrenic patients and non-symptomatic controls, consistent with the hypothesis that certain of the positive symptoms of schizophrenia reflect an impairment in the ability to infer the mental states of others.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of the right hemisphere in the interpretation of figurative aspects of language. A positron emission tomography activation study.
G. Bottini,Rhiannon Corcoran,R. Sterzi,Eraldo Paulesu,P. Schenone,P. Scarpa,Richard S. J. Frackowiak,Chris D. Frith +7 more
TL;DR: The authors found that comprehension of sentences compared with the lexical-decision task, induced extensive activation in several regions of the left hemisphere, including the prefrontal and basal frontal cortex, the middle and inferior temporal gyri and temporal pole, the parietal cortex and the precuneus.
