[Cognitive models of the schizophrenic thought].
Cognitive models make it possible to formulate hypotheses on the nature of the disturbances involved in schizophrenic's thought disorders and to offer methodologies to validate these hypotheses. Two main types of models have been used in an attempt to explain the clinical disorders observed in schizophrenia: 1) the psycholinguistic models, for which the schizophrenic disturbance lies in one of the multiple components of speech taken into account by modern psycholinguistic, and 2) the attentional models, for which clinical speech and thought abnormalities are due to a disorder of attention. From all these models, none of which has prevailed, there seems to emerge the idea of a disturbance in action planning that might explain the thought process disorders related to schizophrenia.
