We discuss here evidence that hippocampal dysfunction in the mental disorder schizophrenia leads to significant changes in how patients with this disorder learn and generalize, impairing their interaction with the world, especially in novel situations. Other disorders that disrupt the hippocampal region include amnesia (discussed in Chapter 7) and Alzheimer\u2019s disease (discussed in Chapter 12). The hippocampus is not, however, the only brain region affected by schizophrenia\u2014schizophrenia is a complex and heterogeneous disorder that involves many brain areas.<\/p>\n

Chapter 9 addresses some of the ways in which frontal lobe dysfunction impairs other aspects of learning, memory, and attention that are pertinent to schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous and severe mental disorder with symptoms of hallucinations, delusions, flattened affect, and social impairment. Functional brain imaging studies have shown reduced hippocampal activity in patients with schizophrenia (Heckers et al., 1998), while a wide range of structural and func- tional brain imaging studies have identified abnormalities in the hippocampus as a core feature of the illness, present from the onset and, to a lesser degree, in first-degree relatives of people with schizophrenia (Heckers, 2001).<\/p>\n

In par- ticular, people with schizophrenia show hippocampal shape abnormalities, most notably an overall smaller volume, as illustrated in the three-dimensional ren- derings of hippocampi in controls and patients shown in Figure 6.29. More recently, studies of associative learning and generalization have shown that most patients with schizophrenia are able to learn simple associations but are markedly impaired when these associations must be transferred to a new context (Polg\u00e1r et al., 2007) or flexibly modified in some other way (Waltz & Gold, 2007). We turn next to several studies that help us understand how some of the cognitive impairments in schizophrenia may be related to dysfunction in the hippocampus.<\/p>\n

Acquired-Equivalence Studies in Schizophrenia Catherine Myers and colleagues have adapted the acquired-equivalence procedure from animal conditioning for use with humans (Myers et al., 2003). In consider- ation of the data that the hippocampal region in rats is essential for acquired equiv- alence (Coutureau et al., 2002), Myers and colleagues applied their human version of the task to the study of generalization impairments in people with schizophrenia. On each trial in the Myers et al.<\/p>\n
