Abstract: Objective To explore the self-face recognition and its relationship to faux pas recognition and executive function in patients with schizophrenia.Methods Fifty-seven schizophrenic patients without treatment and fifty age,gender and years of education matched healthy subjects were assessed using Self-face Recognition Task (SFRT),Faux Pas Test (FPT) and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST).The correlation between self-face recognition,faux pas recognition and executive function using Spearman correlation analysis.Results Schizophrenic patients showed increased reaction time and lower accuracy for self-face recognition compared to normal controls [ ( 2122±1124 ) ms vs.( 1180±322) ms;(80±16)% vs.(88±6)%; all P<0.01 ].Compared with healthy subjects (67.58±8.12,52.16±7.14,15.36±4.12),schizophrenic patients (42.20±14.52,29.98±15.64,12.22±5.62) had significantly less score in Faux Pas Test(P<0.05-0.01).Besides the sub-scores of categories completed and non-perseverative corrects,there were significantly difference on the each sub-scores of WCST between healthy subjects and schizophrenic patients (P<0.05-0.01).Correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between the accuracy for self-face recognition in SFRT and the response administered (r=-0.282,P<0.05),the number of responses errors (r =-0.278,P<0.05),perseverative responses (r=-0.397,P<0.01) and non-perseverative errors (r=-0.395,P<0.01) in WCST.Conclusion Schizophrenic patients have general impairments of self-face recognition,faux pas recognition and executive function,and the self-face recognition deficit may shared a common pathophysiological base with faux pas and executive dysfunction.
