The sustained attention to response task (SART), a measure of sustained attention created by Robertson, Manly, Andrade, Baddeley, and Yiend (1997), was administered to 51 patients with schizophrenia and 51 normal controls to provide information on the sensitivity of the measure in this clinical group. Patients with schizophrenia performed significantly worse than the normal controls in correct response, reaction time for correct response, and efficiency estimate of taking account of both the accuracy and speed of movement. Moreover, the patient group was more often correctly classified as defective on the basis of efficiency estimate than the normal controls. These data provide further evidence of the sensitivity of the SART to patients with schizophrenia.
