Does symptom perception after negative affect induction differ between physically ill and healthy individuals? An experimental study within SOMA.CK
Negative affect induction increases symptom levels in a chronic illness such as CKD. These results align with the predictive processing model which suggests that symptom perception develops from a complex inferential process of somatosensory input in light of pre-existing symptom representations in memory.
