Computational modelling clarifies that the over-generalization of learned causes has to do with distress from delusions broadly, whereas under-generalization of learned absences may have more to do with the experience of reference delusions (as is commensurate with the latter's limited scope). 2/3

In a paper just accepted at Schizophrenia Bulletin, @philcorlett.bsky.social and I, along with coauthors, explore the relationship between generalization and delusions. We find an asymmetry: delusionality tracks either over-generalizing causes or under-generalizing their absence. 1/3
This is a diagram of the effect of delusionality on peak shift behaviors. For people with high delusionality, regions that could potentially elicit a positive response are more likely to, and regions that could potentially elicit a negative response are less likely to.
