Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia01:30

Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia

546
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia indicate a reduction or absence of typical behaviors and emotional responses found in healthy individuals, while positive symptoms reflect an excess or distortion of normal functioning.
Negative Symptoms
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia manifest as deficits in normal emotional and behavioral functioning, profoundly impacting daily life. Individuals with schizophrenia often display a flat affect, characterized by a near-total absence of emotional expression,...

Schizophrenia01:17

Schizophrenia

934
Schizophrenia, a term introduced by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler in 1911, describes a severe psychological disorder marked by profound disruptions in attention, thought processes, language, emotion, and interpersonal relationships. The core feature of schizophrenia is psychosis — a state characterized by a fundamental detachment from reality. This disconnection manifests through distorted logic, impaired perception, and atypical behavior, severely affecting the lives of those...

What is a Sensory System?

101.1K
Sensory systems detect stimuli—such as light and sound waves—and transduce them into neural signals that can be interpreted by the nervous system. In addition to external stimuli detected by the senses, some sensory systems detect internal stimuli—such as the proprioceptors in muscles and tendons that send feedback about limb position.

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia01:29

Biological Causes of Schizophrenia

596
Schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder, arises from a complex interplay of biological factors, including genetic predisposition, structural brain abnormalities, neurotransmitter dysregulation, and developmental irregularities. These factors collectively contribute to the onset and progression of the disorder, which typically manifests in late adolescence or early adulthood.
Genetic Factors in Schizophrenia
The genetic basis of schizophrenia is strongly supported by family and twin...

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

37.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

601
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Summary

Sensory-targeted cognitive training (S-TCT) shows promise for improving cognition in schizophrenia patients. While initial gains are significant, long-term effects and optimal parameters require further research.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Schizophrenia (Sz) is characterized by auditory and visual dysfunctions.
  • These sensory impairments impact higher-order cognition, symptoms, and functional outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review sensory-targeted cognitive training (S-TCT) programs for schizophrenia.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of S-TCT on cognition, symptoms, and functional outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Inclusion of 27 relevant studies investigating S-TCT in schizophrenia patients.

Main Results:

  • S-TCT demonstrated superiority over control conditions for higher-order cognition, though significance diminished over time.
  • A minority of studies reported improvements in clinical symptoms and functional outcomes.
  • S-TCT interventions were linked to normalized neurobiological biomarkers of neuroplasticity and sensory mechanisms.

Conclusions:

  • S-TCT is a cost-efficient, safe, and promising intervention for schizophrenia.
  • Improvements in cognition may facilitate clinical and functional gains.
  • Further research is needed to determine long-term effects and optimize training parameters for precision medicine.
