Abstract
This preliminary study shows that patients with first-rank symptoms are more impaired than normal subjects in distinguishing between their own hands and the experimenter's hands when the visualization of the locations of their hands were rotated respective to their real locations. However, both group of patients performed equally, thus showing that sense of body impairment is not specific to first-rank symptoms. These symptoms, compared to other symptoms of schizophrenia do not reflect general self-recognition impairment but rather a specific impairment of the sense of agency.
