Figure 5. Typical short-SOA trials of controls and schizophrenics in simulation 1.

Each graph presents the correlation of the network state, along time, with each of the 17 stored patterns (including baseline; not all lines are seen as they often coincide). Semantic and lexical network are presented separately. A: Typical related trial of the schizophrenic network. The semantic network commits a transition which causes the lexical network to converge quickly to the target state. B: A different related trial of the schizophrenic network, in which the semantic network jumps to a pattern other than the target. C: Typical related trial of the control network. The semantic network maintains stability over the ISI. RT of the lexical network is not as short as in the typical schizophrenic case (shown in A). D: An unrelated trial of the control network, when a transition took place. RT of the lexical network is slower than in the other examples because of the unrelatedness between prime and target.
