- Title
Theory of mind in schizophrenia: Damaged module or deficit in cognitive coordination?
- Authors
Leiser, David; Bonshtein, Udi
- 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.
