yAssociations between olfactory identification and (social) cognitive functioning: a cross-sectional study in schizophrenia patients and healthy controls.

Schizophrenia patients have difficulties identifying odors (Moberg  et al., 2014). The degree of this reduced odor identification (OI) compared to healthy controls has been examined extensively. A meta-analysis by Cohen et al. (2012) showed that OI in schizophrenia is nearly a standard deviation below the mean of controls.
