A Review on Face / Emotion Recognition Performances and Levels of Emotial Stimulation in Schizotypals
Socialization is very important for a healthy life. Achieving socialization in the right sense is closely related to individuals' face and emotion recognition performance and competence in social life. Otherwise, individuals are likely to encounter social exclusion. Studies indicate that the face and emotion recognition performances of individuals with schizophrenia are inadequate. In particular, there are opinions that volumetric differences in the amygdala and related parts of the brain (which can be counted as the amygdala, superior temporal gyrus and fusiform gyrus) affect performance in this direction. For schizotypal personality disorder, which is defined as one of the Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders, the results of studies in this direction are contradictory. It is aimed to compare the results of experimental studies on face and emotion recognition performances in individuals with schizotypal personality disorder and to identify some gaps and deficiencies in this subject with the studies we have done in the literature.
