NIMH
Social Cognition Psychometric Evaluation (SCOPE)
This is a multi-site, multiple-PI project aimed at improving the assessment of social cognition for
treatment outcome trials in schizophrenia. Using an experienced team of collaborators, we
intend to use proven methods of consensus development to identify existing instruments,
evaluate their usefulness, and modify them as needed to improve their utility as outcome
measures.

Social Cognitive Profiles of Autism and Schizophrenia
This project systematically compares social cognitive performance in autism and schizophrenia
in order to specify disorder specific profiles, assess the contribution of general cognition to these
profiles, and determine their relationship to social functioning.

An Investigation of the Specificity of Amygdala Activation in Schizophrenia as a Biomarker of
Pinkham, Amy E.

Paranoia
The central aims of this study are to utilize fMRI to examine the specificity of amygdala
dysfunction in schizophrenia and to determine if differential amygdala responding may be a
biological marker for susceptibility to paranoia in individuals with schizophrenia.
