54Objective and subjective measures of distractibilityBulletin of the Psychonomic Society 12 (3): 182-184. 1978.The present study reports relationships between objective and subjective measures of distractibility. Four tasks were performed by a group of normal subjects under two conditions, no distraction and distraction. Within the group, there was little relationship between measures of distractibility. In contrast, speed measures derived from three of the tasks were highly positively correlated. Distractibility scores were not related to self-reports of ability to concentrate and susceptibility to dist…Read more

72Schizophrenic cognition: Taken out of context?Behavioral and Brain Sciences 26 (1): 91-91. 2003.This commentary addresses: (a) the problems of definition which have been prominent in the use of the term context in schizophrenia research; (b) potentially useful distinctions and links with other theories of schizophrenic cognition; and (c) possible pathways to schizophrenic symptoms. It is suggested that at least two major aspects of the operation of context may be distinguished and that both may be impaired in schizophrenia.

65Psychopathology and the discontinuity of conscious experienceBehavioral and Brain Sciences 18 (4): 683-684. 1995.It is accepted that “primary awareness” may emerge from the integration of two classes of information. It is unclear, however, why this cannot take place within the comparator rather than in conjunction with feedback to the perceptual systems. The model has plausibility in relation to the continuity of conscious experience in the normal waking state and may be extended to encompass certain aspects of the “sense of self” which are frequently disrupted in psychotic patients.
