Abstract

Ageing seems to present a bias towards positive stimuli that might be reflected in response times. However, this process is more complex for middle-aged adults, and even more in schizophrenia. In order to examine this issue, an experimental study was carried out in which 48 participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group of 24 participants diagnosed with schizophrenia and a control group of 24 subjects with no disorders. The main objective of the study was to evaluate response time components according to the emotional valence of the stimulus, to test recognition and discrimination in both groups. A battery of 120 images from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS), representing positive, negative and neutral emotional valences, was employed. Response times were evaluated in terms of analysis of variance, as well as its inherent response times components. The results showed slower responses in the group with schizophrenia than in the control one. Moreover, a poorer performance was depicted in the latency components this group. Finally, a differential deficit pattern for emotion between groups was not found.
