The beneficial influence of inattention on visual interference in schizophrenia.
- Psychology, MedicineNeuropsychology
- 2016
Schizophrenia patients likely pay less attention to stimuli in general, and the impact of this impairment on target detection is compensated by relatively greater inattention to irrelevant components of the stimuli, and this explains why they are not more influenced by interference than healthy participants at the behavioral level.
Seeing is remembering: Do deficits in closure affect visual memory recognition in schizophrenia?
- Psychology, MedicineCognitive neuropsychiatry
- 2008
Slight fragmentation may have induced a perceptual difficulty that was mild enough to increase visual processing without compromising it, and closure was thus not involved in the episodic memory deficit of people with schizophrenia.
Metamemory Processes in Persons with Schizophrenia

Memory impairment in Schizophrenia (SCZ) is robust and associated with poor functional outcome. However, these correlations are only moderate in magnitude, leading some researchers to propose that…

Findings provide some support for the proposal that weak trait contextual integration underlies the development of intrusions within both PTSD and psychosis.
Gestalt perception in schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

Dysfunctional Gestalt perception resulted consistently in both impaired and enhanced task performance in disorganised forms of schizophrenia spectrum disorders, indicating that the experimental results reflect a specific deficit.

A synthesis of this evidence reveals that this body of work has produced reliable evidence for deficits in schizophrenia, as well as for the clinical, stimulus, and task parameters associated with normal and abnormal performance.
Inverse relation between clinical distractibility and Stroop interference in functional psychoses
- Psychology, MedicineCognitive neuropsychiatry
- 2005
The abnormality of attention that clinicians rate as “distractibility” is probably the opposite—attentional capture, and it is an independent correlate of pathophysiology in functional psychoses that merits assessment and treatment in its own right.
An fMRI examination of visual integration in schizophrenia.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) was used to examine the relative involvement of visual cortex areas and parietal and frontal regions in the visual integration impairment in schizophrenia and found that schizophrenia patients demonstrated poorer visual integration than controls.

Perceptual organization in schizophrenia: the processing of symmetrical configurations.
- PsychologyJournal of abnormal psychology
- 2000
Assessing patients with poor premorbid schizophrenia' ability to process symmetrical configurations that develop early and have strong prepotent structures supports their competence in perceptually processing symmetrical configuration and disconfirms the hypothesis that their input deficiencies represent a general deficiency in all forms of perceptual organization.

These data replicate previous findings that positive symptoms are related to a reduction in cognitive inhibition, although considerable variability was observed among the psychotic patients.

Data suggest that a reduced ability to utilize contextual information plays a role in the perceptual organization dysfunction in schizophrenia.

The perceptual organization deficit is most pronounced in actively symptomatic patients with poor premorbid schizophrenia, and the deficit reflects, in part, deficient top-down influences to basic perceptual processes.
Perceptual Organisation in Schizophrenia: Evidence of Intact Processing of Configural Stimuli
- Psychology, Medicine
- 1998
Assessment of the ability to process configural stimuli made up of noncontiguous elements using Kahneman and Neisser's Visual Suffix Task provides further evidence that schizophrenia patients can perceptually organiseconfigural stimuli, and that their perceptual organisation difficulties are limited to organising nonconfigural sets of stimuli into perceptual wholes.
Perceptual Organisation of Configural and Visual Patterns in Schizophrenia: Effects of Repeated Exposure
- Psychology, Medicine
- 1998
It is suggested that schizophrenia is characterised by a reduced ability to initiate experience-based changes in the visual system, wherein a group of noncontiguous elements that recur together and that are behaviourally relevant begins to be processed as a single unit.

It is suggested that direct comparisons between these groups can aid in clarifying the specific nature of cognitive deficit-symptom relationships, as well as leading to improvements in the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenic and neurodevelopmental syndromes.

The pattern of results was consistent with neither the Stage 1 deficit nor the general deficit hypotheses, but a Stage 2, STVM deficit hypothesis could account parsimoniously for the data.
