| Research Abstract |
The purpose of present study was to investigate the difference of social cognitive dysfunction between schizophrenia and Asperger syndrome. We measured three cognitive domains: motor perception, biological motion and mentalizing ability. The results indicated that schizophrenia patients showed worse performance in biological motion and mentalizing tasks than normal controls and patients with Asperger syndrome. Patients with Asperger syndrome showed worse performance in mentalizing task than normal controls. Biological motion perception, a kind of social perception, and mentalizing ability might be sensitive indicator of social cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia and Asperger syndrome.
