摘要: Executive functioning is a multi-dimensional construct covering several sub-processes. The aim of this study was to determine whether executive functions, indexed by broad range measures remain stable in first episode psychosis (FEP) over time. Eighty-two patients and 107 age gender matched healthy controls were assessed on five subdomains functioning; working memory, fluency, flexibility, inhibitory control at baseline 1 year follow-up. Results showed that performed significantly poorer than all both assessment points. In general functions remained from follow-up, although groups improved flexibility. phonemic slight improvement while decline. Investigation individual trajectories revealed some fluctuations time, but mainly supports the group level findings. implications these results are discussed.
