People with schizophrenia suffer from hallucinations and delusions as well as from significant cognitive impairments. Working memory is a critical resource for many complex cognitive operations and is a critical area of impairment in schizophrenia. Here we present our hyperfocusing hypothesis, which suggests that an overly narrow and intense focusing of attention may underlie the working memory deficits seen in schizophrenia. The hyperfocusing hypothesis also provides an account for some areas of surprisingly intact cognitive performance also seen in people with schizophrenia.
精神分裂症患者会出现幻觉、妄想以及严重的认知障碍。工作记忆是许多复杂认知操作的关键资源,也是精神分裂症患者受损的关键领域。在此,我们提出我们的过度聚焦假说,该假说认为注意力过度狭窄和强烈的聚焦可能是精神分裂症患者工作记忆缺陷的基础。过度聚焦假说还解释了在精神分裂症患者中也观察到的一些认知表现出人意料地完好的领域。
