Cognitive deficits are one of the core features of schizophrenia. Multiple domains of cognition (executive function, attention/vigilance, working memory, verbal fluency, visuospatial skills, processing speed, and social cognition) are affected in patients with schizophrenia. Deficits in cognition led to impairment in the real world functioning. Identifying the cognitive deficits and early intervention is required for better functional outcome. This review focuses on conceptual understanding of cognition with its neurobiological correlates in schizophrenia and its different clinical implications. Key words: Cognition, cognitive deficits, neurobiological correlates, schizophrenia Introduction Evolution of Understandings about Cognition in Schizophrenia Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder with complex and multifactorial etiology. The prevalence Previously, cognitive symptoms in schizophrenia are of schizophrenia is about 1% worldwide. It is the most considered to be the major symptoms of schizophrenia, common psychotic disorder worldwide with point which led to the perception that probably schizophrenia [1] prevalence of about 4.6/1000 population. is like premature onset dementia; hence, Benedict Morel and Emil Kraepelin acknowledged this disorder The symptoms of schizophrenia can be broadly as “demence precoce” and “dementia praecox,” categorized into – positive symptoms, negative symptoms, respectively. Subsequently (in the early part of the 19th affective symptoms, cognitive symptoms, and aggressive century), this perception was rejected and schizophrenia symptoms. Cognitive impairment in schizophrenia causes is presented as a distinct mental disorder with quite impairment in real-world functioning and significantly different pathophysiology and psychopathology.

Schizophrenia causes Whatever, cognitive symptoms observed in patients dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex by several mechanisms with schizophrenia were considered to be secondary such as perfusion defect, defective metabolism, and to positive or negative symptoms. However, very defective synaptic pruning, which is responsible for the recently in the last two decades, it was understood that higher cognitive functions such as planning, regulation, cognitive deficits in schizophrenia are primary and core [2] and execution of goal-directed activities. deficits.[3-5] The reasons for which the cognitive deficits in schizophrenia were given special attention as a Address for correspondence: distinct domain of symptoms are, due to a characteristic Dr. Sujita Kumar Kar, Department of Psychiatry, King George’s pattern of the cognitive symptoms in schizophrenia, Medical University, Lucknow - 226 003, Uttar Pradesh, India.

When writing, the authors got lost in the details and wrote just a tiny little bit more than the editors asked for. In the end, we had to cut a substantial part of the chapter and decided to delete entire sections, one of them was the part on the “History of Developmental Psychology”. We nevertheless thought that the section could be of interest to somebody out there and put it as a preprint on the open science platform PsyArXiv. Enjoy reading. The History of Developmental Psychology Following the quote attributed to Goethe: “If you want to know how something is, you must look at how it came to be”, the goal of this section is to embed current views on development into a larger historical perspective.

    1 1879 First Psychology Laboratory Wilhelm Wundt Opens the World's

    1879 First psychology laboratory Wilhelm Wundt opens the world’s first experimental laboratory in psychology at the University of Leipzig, Germany. Credited with establishing psychology as an academic discipline, Wundt's students include Emil Kraepelin, James McKeen Cattell, and G. Stanley Hall. 1883 First American psychology laboratory G. Stanley Hall, a student of Wilhelm Wundt, establishes first U.S. experimental psychology laboratory at Johns Hopkins University. 1886 First doctorate in psychology The first doctorate in psychology is given to Joseph Jastrow, a student of G. Stanley Hall at Johns Hopkins University. Jastrow later becomes professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin and serves as president of the American Psychological Association in 1900. 1888 First professor of psychology The academic title "professor of psychology" is given to James McKeen Cattell in 1888, the first use of this designation in the United States. A student of Wilhelm Wundt's, Cattell serves as professor of psychology at University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University. 1892 APA founded G. Stanley Hall founds the American Psychological Association (APA) and serves as its first president. He later establishes two key journals in the field: American Journal of Psychology (1887) and Journal of Applied Psychology (1917). 1 1896 Functionalism Functionalism, an early school of psychology, focuses on the acts and functions of the mind rather than its internal contents. Its most prominent American advocates are William James and John Dewey, whose 1896 article "The Reflex Arc Concept in Psychology" promotes functionalism. Psychoanalysis The founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, introduces the term in a scholarly paper. Freud's psychoanalytic approach asserts that people are motivated by powerful, unconscious drives and conflicts.

Originally concerned with infants and children, the field has expanded to include adolescence, adult development, aging, and the entire life span. This field examines change across a broad range of topics including motor skills and other psycho-physiological processes; cognitive development involving areas such as problem solving, moral understanding, and conceptual understanding; language acquisition; social, personality, and emotional development; and self-concept and identity formation. Developmental psychology includes issues such as the extent to which development occurs through the gradual accumulation of knowledge versus stage-like development, or the extent to which children are born with innate mental structures versus learning through experience. Many researchers are interested in the interaction between personal characteristics, the

    CHAPTER 1 History of Forensic Psychology CURT R. BARTOL AND ANNE M. BARTOL N the course of writing this chapter over four editions of this Handbook,wehave learned a few lessons. In the first edition, we asserted that psychologists do not I care about the history of their profession but are instead drawn to contemporary issues and theories. We learned that this was a simplistic generalization, so in subsequent editions we acknowledged that our initial statement had been rash. Psychologists (perhaps most of them) do care about history, as is apparent from numerous articles published in professional journals reviewing historical trends, the continuing publication of a journal devoted to the history of psychology, and special interest divisions of professional organizations, such as Division 26, Society for the History of Psychology, of the American Psychological Association (APA). We have also learned that there is some danger in proclaiming an event or a person a historic “first” or a “father,” because these proclamations may be challenged, usually with kindness but not always with good humor. Psychology, like other disciplines, needs historical insights. It needs to understand whence it came in order to assess where it is going. A perusal of journals and books published at the turn of the 20th century, for example, may spark interest in a concept long forgotten or a predecessor whose theories and research deserve to be revisited. Yet delving into earlyCOPYRIGHTED works reminds us of false MATERIAL starts and the occasional damage they did, such as the work of Henry H. Goddard (1914) on feeblemindedness during the early 1900s and the self-promotion of Hugo Munsterberg.¨ However, we have also learned that hindsight is imperfect; people are sometimes overlooked, and the historical discoveries may be incomplete.
