We discuss these findings in terms of the accumulating evidence that mental state decoding has particular relevance for understanding deficits in social function in schizophrenia.
Our findings provide a basis for understanding deficits in processing verbal information streams shown by patients with Alzheimer's disease in previous work (Gates et al., 1996, 2002, 2008, 2011).
The relationship with mortality is also important in understanding how deficit accumulation might operate.
Thus, the cultural divide, whose origins are understandable – but not insurmountable – consequences of distinct career paths, is further aggravated by a public-understanding deficit in which science is viewed as inaccessible – a complex, mysterious craft carried out by eccentric people, often investigating obscure topics.
Latent inhibition (LI) is an important model for understanding cognitive deficits in schizophrenia.
It would be informative to concentrate such efforts on understanding nighttime deficits in specific cognitive processes, rather than merely documenting global performance impairment.
Discussion amongst participants was encouraged with the goal of understanding knowledge deficits, areas of perceived competence and educational preferences.
Similarly, nighttime feeding and the frequent nocturnal awakenings among infants are important factors for understanding sleep deficits and reduced sleep quality among mothers in the postnatal period [ 6].
The maternal separation paradigm has been applied to C57BL/6J mice as an animal developmental model for understanding structural deficits leading to abnormal behaviour.
Understanding possible deficits in emotion recognition might be crucial in the development of proper interventions targeting behavioral problems in children and adolescents with ADHD.
From a clinical perspective, understanding executive deficits in patients with frontal lesions may greatly facilitate the design of appropriate assessment tools and rehabilitation strategies, with potential improvement in patients' daily living.
