Susceptibility to backward masking in schizophrenic patients with positive or negative symptoms
Abstract
The authors used the backward masking paradigm to compare visual information processing in schizophrenic patients with predominantly positive or predominantly negative symptoms. The results indicate significantly slower information processing in patients with negative symptoms.

Gain control deficits are related to symptomatology.
“There is also evidence that gain control deficits, seen in contrast detection and M-pathway deficits, are important in predicting outcome (22,45), and are related to higher-level problems in perceptual organization (28,46) and to symptomatology (20,47–51).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
