Abstract

We compared covert shift of visual attention in patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, both in states of remission, to normal controls to examine the persistence of lateralized attentional deficits into nonpsychotic states. Although patients were slower in all conditions than normals, there was no difference in pattern of attentional shift among the groups. This suggests that the left-hemisphere deficit in shift of covert attention in schizophrenia may be limited to periods of florid illness.
