The conventional explanation is that suicide is motivated as an escape from unresolvable psychological pain. However, despite suicide's high availability, its rates are very low (about 0.014% in the US). This speaks to high ambivalence as an essential feature of the suicidal mind.Method: To explicate the ambivalence of the suicidal mind, suicide has recently been framed within the active inference framework (AIF). AIF appears to be appropriate for conceptualising suicide because it is a theory of choice behaviour under uncertainty that, in suicide, cannot be resolved or, validated by experience. Moreover, AIF is based on the free-energy principle, which is proposed as a principle underwriting the very existence of sentient systems.Results: In this paper, we frame suicidal decision-making as the balance between the expected free energy of survival vs. suicide action policies. Based on this frame, we develop intuitions about the dynamics of suicidal decision-making. These intuitions are then proposed as guides for future research into suicidal decisions as well as suicide prevention.","PeriodicalId":51277,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Neuropsychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144081846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While such memories play a central role in self-concept and emotional well-being, little is known about how they are affected in Korsakoff's syndrome (KS).Methods: We invited patients with KS and healthy control participants to retrieve self-defining memories, which were then analysed for specificity (specific vs. general events), emotional valence (positive vs. negative) and integration of meaning (whether the memory was connected to a broader understanding of the self or life experience).Results: The analysis demonstrated no significant differences between patients with KS and controls in terms of specificity. However, compared with control participants, patients with KS produced more negative and non-integrated self-defining memories. Within-groups comparisons demonstrated more specific than general self-defining memories in patients with KS and control participants. These memories were mainly negative in patients with KS and positive in control participants, non-integrated in patients with KS but integrated in control participants.Conclusions: These findings demonstrate no difficulties in patients with KS to retrieve specific self-defining memories; however, these memories seem to be mainly related to negative events and enduring concerns or unresolved conflicts.","PeriodicalId":51277,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Neuropsychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144081850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The models first used all item scores and then the least/most important features.Results: Robust trait overlap allows for the prediction of AQ from SPQ-BR and vice versa. Results showed that AQ item scores predicted 2 of 3 SPQ-BR factors (disorganised, interpersonal), and SPQ-BR item scores successfully predicted 2 of 5 AQ factors (communication, social skills). Importantly, classification model failures showed that AQ item scores could not predict the SPQ-BR cognitive-perceptual factor, and the SPQ-BR item scores could not predict 3 AQ factors (imagination, attention to detail, attention switching).Conclusions: Overall, the SPQ-BR and AQ measure overlapping symptoms that can be isolated to some factors.

The present study examined a key aspect of the cognitive-behavioural model of hoarding, information processing (memory, attention, decision making, categorisation).

Thus, novel virtual reality (VR) environments were developed to examine the information-processing components with improved ecological validity.Methods: Two groups (i.e., with hoarding disorder, n = 36; without hoarding disorder, n = 40) similar in age and gender were recruited from the community to complete a series of standardised and novel VR memory and decision-making tasks, and to complete a categorisation task for objects in a messy VR home office.Results: Higher attentional difficulties related to ADHD symptoms, poorer category efficiency, and poorer trait, but not state, memory confidence, were reported in the hoarding group.

This brief review paper summarises the major findings of social cognitive research conducted in various hypo- and hyper-kinetic movement disorders (Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and Tourette syndrome), with a focus on findings that may shed new light on the functions of the basal ganglia.Results: Task impairments include more predictable difficulties with embodied processes involving the motor system, such as problems with facial expressions and other non-verbal gestures. The cognitive and emotional changes associated with broader frontostriatal dysfunction may also explain some deficits, particularly difficulties with verbal tasks or perspective taking, with impacts varying according to the type of disorder and disease stage. Most intriguingly, transdiagnostic comparisons reveal patterns implying that the role of the basal ganglia in social cognition may be more important than previously recognised.Conclusions: Movement disorders show remarkable overlap in terms of atypical intention attribution across various tasks, as well as relationships between social cognition and behavioural or motivational symptoms (e.g., apathy; anhedonia; impulsivity). The possible mechanisms underlying these similarities are explored with a view to guiding future research.","PeriodicalId":51277,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Neuropsychiatry","volume":"30 1","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144042780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PSZ often exhibit reduced susceptibility to visual illusions compared to healthy control subjects (HCS), suggesting that top-down impairments yield enhanced perception of stimuli that would otherwise be distorted by contextualising visual elements. However, it remains unknown whether resistance to illusions is uniquely associated with positive symptoms, or if it is associated with some other aspect of serious mental illness. To examine this question, 77 PSZ, 50 HCS, and 40 individuals who hear voices and hold unusual beliefs but do not have a psychiatric illness (nonclinical voice hearers; NCVH) completed a hollow mask illusion task. HCS reported experiencing the illusion significantly more often than PSZ and more often than NCVH at the trend level, whereas the latter two groups did not differ from one another. Additionally, there was no consistent association between illusion perception and symptom severity for either PSZ or NCVH. We interpret these results to indicate that resistance to visual illusions may mark a vulnerability for experiencing voices and holding unusual beliefs; however, it may not be associated with the severity of these symptoms.","PeriodicalId":51277,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Neuropsychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"31-42"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12033074/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
