This is so that they can identify any abnormal pattern during the first person and third person perspective simulation of actions in hallucination prone subjects. This is to test if there are different risk for schizophrenia. The study also states how they found their participants and how they chose from 80 participants who is going to participate with questions and to see if they were prone to hallucinations. Why this is important and interesting is because it shows how hallucinating can occur during the adolescent stage and why this is important is because it can test if there are …show more content…
The Criteria to participate was age, existence of any neurological problem or has detections of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. There were exclusions so it ended up with 47 subjects split into 3 groups. 22 participants in developing group and 16 of them were males, 6 were recruited within siblings of the Deletion syndrome group and 16 from the Geneva state school system. 12 participants in the group of adolescence who has auditory hallucinations and 7 were females. They were recruited by word of mouth or through the Child and Adolescents Outpatient Public service. Lastly,13 participants in the group who has Deletion syndrome and 9 were males. They were recruited through parent associations in France, Belgium and
