Perceptual biases and metacognition and their association with anomalous self experiences in first episode psychosis.
Consciousness and cognition January 1, 2020 Abigail Wright, Barnaby Nelson, David Fowler et al. 26 citations
Auditory perceptual biases, such as a tendency to hear things differently, are linked to anomalous self-experiences, especially feeling alienated from one's surroundings and emotional numbing, in people with first episode psychosis and healthy controls. No link was found between metacognitive efficiency and anomalous experiences. The findings support the minimal self-disturbance model of schizophrenia spectrum vulnerability, particularly the idea of hyperreflexivity.
