| Research Abstract |
We investigated differences of cognitive processes of social cognition between schizophrenia and Asperger syndrome. Our finding suggests that magnocellar function reflected by coherent motion task affect social perception in schizophrenia but not affect in Asperger syndrome. Therefore there might be disease-specific social cognition in Asperger syndrome.
