CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A primary focus of research with individuals with
schizophrenia and those at risk for developing schizophrenia
has been attention and information processing (AIP). Noting
AIP deficiencies among persons with schizophrenia can be
traced back to the time of Bleuler (1950) and Kraeplin
(1919). Since that time, investigators have been busy
finding methods to quantify these deficiencies. This effort
has proven successful in enhancing the understanding of
schizophrenia. However, there has not been agreement in
this literature as to the underlying processes that might
account for the deficiencies in task performance that have
been demonstrated in individuals with schizophrenia. This
paper will first examine the relevance of information
processing studies in gaining understanding of
schizophrenia. A review of the literature concerning visual
information processing in schizophrenia and the techniques
that have commonly been used to measure visual processing
deficits will be presented. Next, an hypothesis proposed to
explain such deficits will be presented, followed by a
description of the task that was used in the present study
to examine this hypothesis. Finally, the study's results
and implications are discussed.
