Electro-Dermal Activity, Heart Rate, Respiration under Emotional Stimuli in Schizophrenia
نویسنده
چکیده
Patients with schizophrenia are known to be impaired in several areas of emotional processing, including psychophysiological reactivity. This study investigates the preliminary autonomic reactions and recognition of schizophrenic patients according to basic emotional conditions. The parameters such as electrodermal activity (Skin conductance response, skin conductance level), heart rat, and respiration were measured by using emotion evoked stimuli. We found out that there were no differences of accuracy for recognition with the target emotion between groups. Also, we found out that in anger (heart rate), fear (electrodermal activity, respiration), and sadness (heart rate, respiration) condition, there was a difference of physiological responses between groups.

BACKGROUND Schizophrenic patients are known to have difficulty processing emotions and to exhibit impairment in stimuli discrimination.

متن کاملInfluence of emotional processing on working memory in schizophrenia.
Research on emotional processing in schizophrenia suggests relatively intact subjective responses to affective stimuli "in the moment." However, neuroimaging evidence suggests diminished activation in brain regions associated with emotional processing in schizophrenia. We asked whether given a more vulnerable cognitive system in schizophrenia, individuals with this disorder would show increased...
