Abstract
According to reviews of the literature, the primary deficit of schizophrenics is related to “interference of thought processes.” Cameron presented the early view that such interference was due to a schizophrenic’s tendency to include irrelevant information in the performance of perceptual tasks. “Overinclusion” has been supported consistently by several authors with a variety of object sorting tasks. This study considered the effects of variable noise (overinclusion) on variable information loads.
