Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Attention is a complex construct studied in humans and animals, across healthy and disordered conditions.
  • The Cognitive Neuroscience Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (CNTRICS) group identified attention control deficits as a key issue in schizophrenia.
  • Refined measurement tools are needed to further investigate and potentially treat attention control impairments in schizophrenia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To nominate and evaluate cognitive tasks for their potential in schizophrenia treatment development.
  • To identify discrete measures of attention control suitable for research in schizophrenia.
  • To assess the strengths and weaknesses of nominated cognitive tasks for cognitive neuroscience research.

Main Methods:

  • Solicitation of nominations for cognitive tasks measuring attention control.
  • Evaluation of nominated tasks at the third CNTRICS meeting.
  • Description of five nominated measures, including their utility for treatment development.

Main Results:

  • Two tasks, Guided Search and the Distractor Condition Sustained Attention Task, show the greatest immediate promise.
  • These tasks offer discrete measures of attention control relevant to schizophrenia.
  • The article details the strengths and weaknesses of the five nominated cognitive tasks.

Conclusions:

  • Guided Search and the Distractor Condition Sustained Attention Task are recommended for further development as tools for schizophrenia treatment research.
  • Improved measurement of attention control can advance cognitive neuroscience in schizophrenia.
  • Targeted cognitive tasks may lead to more effective treatments for cognitive deficits in schizophrenia.
