Schizophrenia, since first being distinguished as an individual mental disorder in 1887, has remained a controversial minority of psychopaths even until nowadays. Whilst benefiting from some particular protection against the law, there have always been prejudices and discriminations targetin patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia patients also have a noticeable crime rate compared with normal people. Researchers have discovered and dug deep into some contributors to the cognitive deficits in schizophrenia patients, whereas few of them included all of those factors. Therefore, this literature review intends to give adequate information on cognitive deficits of schizophrenia through 5 different perspectives: (i) Impairment in moral cognition of schizophrenia patients, (ii) emotional deficits of schizophrenia patients, (iii) acoustic recognition of schizophrenia patients, (iv) executive dysfunctioning of schizophrenia patients.In conclusion, these factors are all highly related to the cognitive impairments in schizophrenia with the support of data in the research.
