Phillips & Silverstein – Convergence of Biological and Psychological Perspectives on Cognitive Coordination in Schizophrenia <ct>where the Rubber Meets the Road: the Importance of Implementation

چکیده
Abstract: Phillips and Silverstein argue that a range of cognitive disturbances in schizophrenia result from a deficit in cognitive coordination attributable to NMDA receptor dysfunction. We suggest that the viability of this hypothesis would be further supported by explicit implementation in a computational framework that can produce quantitative estimates of the behavior of both healthy individuals and individuals with schizophrenia.
