Theory of mind in schizophrenia: Damaged module or deficit in cognitive coordination?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 September 2003
Abstract
Schizophrenics exhibit a deficit in theory of mind (ToM), but an intact theory of biology (ToB). One explanation is that ToM relies on an independent module that is selectively damaged. Phillips & Silverstein's analyses suggest an alternative: ToM requires the type of coordination that is impaired in schizophrenia, whereas ToB is spared because this type of coordination is not involved.
