This study examined the relationship between the abilities of facial affect perception and neuropsychological functions in schizophrenic patients. In particular, this study investigated whether the observed facial affect deficit in schizophrenic patients reflects the facial perception deficit or affect perception deficit, and whether the facial affect deficit is related to the specific cognitive impairment or it is the secondary deficit of the generalized cognitive impairment. Twenty schizophrenic patients and twenty normal controls participated. For the measurement of the abilities of facial affect perception, facial affect discrimination and identification tasks were administered, and the facial recognition task was administered as the control task. The comprehensive neuropsychological tests were administered for the evaluation of executive function, verbal/nonverbal memory and attention. There was no significant difference between the patient and control groups in terms of facial recognition task, however, the schizophrenic patients showed significantly worse performance on the facial affect discrimination and identification tasks compared to the normal controls. Although the patients showed impaired performance in all cognitive areas evaluated in this study, the perseverative error response of WCST and immediate recall score of RCFT were the predictors of the performance on facial affect discrimination task, and the score of spatial test predicted the performance on facial affect identification task. These results indicate that impairment of facial affect perception in schizophrenic patients reflects the impairment of affect, and is related to the specific cognitive dysfunctions such as impairments of mental flexibility, nonverbal short-memory and spatial attention.
