Several clinical and experimental data suggest that some people with schizophrenia have an impaired ability to attribute relevant mental states to other people. We tested this notion in 24 schizophrenic patients and two control groups, who performed a task devised to test understanding of the intentions of nonverbal comic strip characters. Only the schizophrenic subjects with thought and speech disorganization had specific difficulties attributing mental states to others. The findings support cognitive models which postulate a link between planning process disorders and a deficit in mentalizing skills. The hypothesis that the more frequent an action is in everyday life, the more easily it is understood by schizophrenic subjects, is discussed.
多项临床和实验数据表明，一些精神分裂症患者在将相关心理状态归因于他人方面存在能力受损的情况。我们对24名精神分裂症患者和两个对照组进行了测试，他们完成了一项旨在测试对非语言连环漫画人物意图理解的任务。只有思维和言语紊乱的精神分裂症受试者在将心理状态归因于他人时存在特定困难。这些发现支持了认知模型，该模型假定计划过程障碍与心理化技能缺陷之间存在联系。文中还讨论了这样一种假设，即某种行为在日常生活中出现得越频繁，精神分裂症患者就越容易理解它。
