Abstract

For over 100 years, the concepts of memory disorders have accompanied the development of research on schizophrenia. Advances in anatomical and physiological research, in particular neuroimaging research, have brought new information about this basis and possible role in pathogenesis. These concepts focused in particular on the working memory model and the role of prefrontal functioning in patients. It is assumed that a working memory defect – the ability to manage behavior multilaterally, constantly filtering external and internal stimuli and developing a strategy of action – may be the basic impairment leading to schizophrenic thinking disorder.
