Lena K. Palaniyappan Biagio Scalingi Let's make this meaningful and not just fun!

just for fun, we are looking at how text-to-image conversions of the 'average' content from those who relapse differ from those who did not. See below for the 2 outputs! Thank you Biagio Scalingi for the idea!

Our recent preprint on building relapse prediction models with incremental value in early intervention practice using a clinical theory-driven approach. osf.io/preprints/psya…

Puttroppo. L’essere umano si accorge troppo tardi che non ha più la testa e continua ad intestardirsi.

If you are interested in figurative language, don't miss this special issue, which ranges from L2 to cross-cultural issues, including our paper on multimodal metaphors. And the commentaries by albert & Heather Ferguson are real gems! Thanks Henri Olkoniemi | @holkoniemi.bsky.social & Ruth for putting it together!

I was asked many times if pragmatic disorder could be explained in terms of ToM or EF. The answer is simply no. See our new meta-analysis on pragmatics in schizophrenia: stronger relationship with ToM than EF, although no overlap but rather a hierarchy ➡️

A meta-analytic mediation model showed a hierarchy among these domains, which suggests that #cognitiveremediation programs following integrated (yet sequential) treatment strategies might result in greater long-term benefits in schizophrenia

Yesterday we spoke at the closing symposium of European Psychiatric Association #EPA2024 about the compulsory treatment and the use of ECT. Thanks to all contributors Laith Alexander 🏳️‍🌈, Meryam Schouler-Ocak, Cristiana Tapoi, World Psychiatric Association (WPA) wpanet.org President Prof Danuta Wasserman and all attendees!

This was such a great day with inspiring talks and new ideas to work on 🧠🗣️Thank you for having us in beautiful #pavia #Italia DISCOURSEgroup

And it's out! Happy to share our meta-analysis on the role of social cognition and executive functions in explaining pragmatic impairment in #schizophrenia , summarizing 20 years of clinical evidence (w/ Valentina Bambini, Chiara Cerami, Alessandra Dodich & Marta Bosia)

I have the best students, and also the most elegant 🙂 Here Biagio Scalingi presenting his poster on metaphor production in psychosis. The picture in the poster is generated by AI given a metaphor produced by a patient as prompt #discourseday2024

Presenting our work on #semantic similarity measures across #language tasks! #discourseday2024 Flavio Bertini

After Schizophrenia International Research Society 2024. What a nice day at DISCOURSEgroup Consortium Satellite Meeting at Pavía. Amazing and inspiring posters and presentations 🗣🧠🤔. Thank you to IUSS Team and Organisers 🙌

#discourseday2024 underway at the beautiful IUSS facilities in Pavia. Amazing talks from DISCOURSEgroup colleagues from all over the world. Making strides to understand, measure and improve speech, language and communication in psychosis.

Gist of the first session of #discourseday2024 at IUSS PAVIA: considerations on why investigating language in psychosis, illustration of the DISCOURSEgroup activities, presentation of the assessment protocol and opportunities

This morning we've seen excellent talks about embodiment, figurative language, childhood dyspraxia, sensorimotor processing, pragmatics and social cognition, and more. Fascinating. #discourseday2024 DISCOURSEgroup

Thanks for having me! Feeling very privileged to have met so many people doing amazing work on language, psychosis, schizophrenia, speech, and more. Looking forward to working together and catching up again next year.
