Aberrant Interference of Auditory Negative Words on Attention in Patients with Schizophrenia
Figure 3
Aberrant interference of auditory negative words in patients with schizophrenia.
The interference index in patients with schizophrenia was significantly smaller compared with healthy controls when negative words were presented at the right ear, irrespective of attention side (p = 0.025). Because no main effect of Attention-Side and no interaction between Attention-Side and any other factors were found, the means of the interference indices for attending to the right and left ear are presented.
