Abstract

Insight is a complex and multidimensional concept, and has a complex relationship with cognition. A meta-analysis of 102 studies of 9396 patients was conducted to determine the magnitude of the relationship between insight and neurocognition, higher-order cognition in multiple mental disorders. Insight has been found moderately related to higher-order cognition, but only weakly related to neurocognition. The different relationship has been found between the dimensions of insight and higher-order cognition. Almost none of the correlational coefficients of insight and cognitive domains were found to differ significantly among the different diagnostic groups. In conclusion, insight may be essentially related to higher-order cognition, but not to neurocognition. The orientation and expression of different dimensions of insight might be different, and the relationship of insight and cognition might not be explained by specific diagnosis.
