iii. Facial Emotion Identification Task (FEIT). The socially competent person must be able to correctly identify the emotions in others in order to respond appropriately during social communication. The correct identification of emotions in others is a key aspect of social cognition that has been linked to functional outcomes in SCZ (Couture et al. 2006). This aspect of social cognition has been investigated in paradigms that query the subjects on identifying emotions displayed in pictures. Most studies in the literature report that patients with SCZ are deficient in the correct identification of emotions displayed in pictures of faces (Addington et al. 2006; Bigelow et al. 2006; van't Wout et al. 2007; Averbeck et al. 2012 and see review in Couture et al. 2006), although not all studies have found such impairments (de Achaval et al. 2010). The classic series of pictures of faces introduced by Eckman and Friesen (1976) have been used in many studies of affect recognition, but other series of pictures have also been utilized (Erwin et al. 1992; Kerr and Neale 1993). OT administration has been shown in two studies to increase the correct identification of emotions in faces in subjects with SCZ (Goldman et al. 2011; Averbeck et al. 2012). We hypothesize that deficit syndrome SCZ subjects will exhibit improvement in facial emotion recognition after administration of OT (Specific Aim 2c).
