- cognitive approach evaluation
- not comprehensive theory
- Criticised for only being able to explain cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia
- Other symptoms such as issues with movement are not explained
- The cognitive approach can explain proximal causes but not distal causes of schizophrenia
- Also criticised for only describing cognitive deficits and not he origins of those deficits
- supporting evidence
- Models proposed by beck and frith have lead to tremendous scientific research being conducted
- Barch et al 1999 - compared performance on stroop test of those with and without schizophrenia
- Found that those with schizophrenia were slower on stroop test and made more mistakes
- Concluded this as evidence people with schizophrenia couldn't filter information as effectively
- Supports idea that attentional filters of those with schizophrenia is defective
- not comprehensive theory
