Does aging affect source monitoring and cognitive confidence in schizophrenia? Preliminary results
1II Department of Psychiatry, Medical University of Warsaw, Poland.
Abstract:
This study tested the influence of aging on source-monitoring and cognitive confidence deficits in schizophrenia. Younger (n=13) and older (n=10) schizophrenia patients were compared with younger (n=17) and older (n=10) healthy controls in the source-monitoring task. These preliminary results suggest that age negatively influences old/new item recognition, but not source monitoring, in both groups. Age has a negative impact on subjective confidence, but no interaction between group and age was found.
