Abstrakt: This article discusses various issues related to perceptual distraction in schizophrenia, and presents a study in this regard. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a distractibility deficit at the stimulus-identification level could be identified in schizophrenics after distracter and nonedistracter conditions had been matched for difficulty. The results of the study suggests that the list of schizophrenic deficits should not include distractibility at the stimulus identification stage. The results suggest that any unique schizophrenic distractibility is restricted later information-processing stages.
