摘要: Patients with first-episode (FE) schizophrenia (n=40), chronic (n=40) and healthy controls matched for age, gender, education parental socioeconomic status were administered a battery of standardized neuropsychological (NP) tests. Both patient groups showed generalized impairment relative to the most pronounced deficits in visual-motor processing attention (VSM). Compared FE patients, schizophrenics performed worse VSM abstraction/flexibility. Our findings suggest that NP are fundamental manifestations illness, mainly frontally based dysfunctions more prominent chronic, kraepelinian patients.
