Insight is not associated with insensitivity to future consequences in schizophrenia

In this study, we examined the association between insight and decision-making capacity in schizophrenia using the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). No association was found between insight and IGT scores. Our results suggest that impaired decision-making ability in schizophrenia patients cannot be solely predicted by lack of insight. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
