Abstract
•Examine anhedonia in recent-onset schizophrenia.•Examine the relationship between subjective pleasure experience and neuropsychological functions.•Support deficits in anticipatory but not consummatory pleasure in early schizophrenia.
Little is known about subjective pleasure experience in recent-onset schizophrenia, and its relationship with neurocognitive functions. Twenty-seven recent-onset schizophrenia people and 26 controls completed the TEPS and neuropsychological tests. The results showed that schizophrenia people self-reported less anticipatory pleasure than controls. Semantic verbal fluency was apparently correlated with anticipatory pleasure.
