The positive symptoms of schizophrenia are those that represent an excess or distortion of normal functions, such as delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking and speech, and inappropriate affect. Negative symptoms, on the other hand, represent a diminution or loss of functions and include things like apathy, lack of emotion, and poor social functioning. Cognitive symptoms involve problems with thought processes, including memory and concentration. "Ineffective" is not a category of symptoms used in the context of schizophrenia.
