Differential deficits in social versus monetary reinforcement learning in schizophrenia: Associations with facial emotion recognition.

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

< .001, particularly for negative emotions, and controlling for this eliminated the differential social RL impairment. These results suggest the possibility that difficulty recognizing social cues, especially those indicating negative feedback, may relate to a reduced ability to learn from others' feedback. Thus, future research could elucidate whether targeting these emotion recognition difficulties in treatment could serve as a potential mechanism for improving social functioning in SZ.
