这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 认知障碍是精神分裂症的主要特征。本研究将探讨精神分裂症患者和健康对照者的注意力在视知觉和工作记忆中的作用。本研究的目的是测量注意力在与精神分裂症相关的广泛认知障碍中的独特贡献。假设精神分裂症患者在工作记忆任务中会表现出特定的注意操作缺陷，而在知觉加工过程中注意可能是完整的。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Cognitive impairment is a central feature of schizophrenia. This study will examine the role of attention in both visual perception and working memory in people with schizophrenia and healthy controls. The goal of this research is to measure the unique contribution of attention in the broad cognitive impairment that is associated with schizophrenia. It is hypothesized that patients wil schizophrenia will demonstrate a specific deficit in the operation of attention during working memory tasks while attention may be intact during the operation of perceptual processing.
