    This review finds limited evidence for a single information processing deficit in schizophrenia. A global limited capacity model of selective attention may best explain cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Schizophrenia is characterized by cognitive dysfunction.
    • Previous research has explored various information processing deficits.
    • A unifying model for these deficits is lacking.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review evidence for specific information processing deficits in schizophrenia.
    • To evaluate the utility of a global limited capacity model of selective attention.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of empirical data on schizophrenic information processing.
    • Critical analysis of methodological limitations in existing studies.
    • Theoretical discussion of selective attention models.

    Main Results:

    • Little evidence supports a single defective mechanism underlying cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia.
    • Methodological issues, including task difficulty and attentional load, limit current findings.
    • A global limited capacity model offers a framework for understanding diverse empirical data.

    Conclusions:

    • The concept of a singular deficit in schizophrenic information processing is not well-supported.
    • A global limited capacity model of selective attention is proposed as a unifying framework.
    • Future research should address methodological limitations to advance understanding of schizophrenia cognition.
