Abstract

Studies of the negative symptoms of schizophrenia seem to be of interest. However, the description of these symptoms is problematic. Some cognitive tests seem able to establish data that can be used to help discriminate among schizophrenic syndromes and to understand their different pathophysiology. Some of the main tests are described. Remarks concerning their value and the conditions of their interpretations are made.

Measuring the amplification of attention.

An ambiguous motion paradigm, in which the direction of apparent motion is determined by salience (i.e., the extent to which an area is perceived as figure versus ground), is used to assay the amplification of color by attention to color. In the red-green colored gratings used in these experiments, without attention instructions, salience depends on the chromaticity difference between colored stripes embedded in the motion sequence and the yellow background. Selective attention to red (or to green) alters the perceived direction of motion and is found to be equivalent to increasing the physical redness (or greenness) by 25-117%, depending on the observer and color. Whereas attention to a color drastically alters the salience of that color, it leaves color appearance unchanged. A computational model, which embodies separate, parallel pathways for object perception and for salience, accounts for 99% of the variance of the experimental data.
