Increased face detection responses on the mooney faces test in people at clinical high risk for psychosis
Abstract Identifying state-sensitive measures of perceptual and cognitive processes implicated in psychosis may allow for objective, earlier, and better monitoring of changes in mental status that are predictive of an impending psychotic episode, relative to traditional self-report-based clinical me...
