Twenty four remitted schizophrenics and twenty four neurotic depressives were studied on three measures of visual information processing, viz., simple reaction time, choice reaction time, and a forced choice span of apprehension test. The groups were matched for age, sex, and educational status. The remitted schizophrenics performed poorly on these measures compared to neurotic depressives. The findings suggest that information processing deficits are present in outpatient schizophrenics even during clinical remission.
我们对 24 名缓解期精神分裂症患者和 24 名神经症抑郁症患者进行了三种视觉信息处理测试，即简单反应时、选择反应时和强迫选择感知测试。这些组在年龄、性别和教育程度方面相匹配。与神经症抑郁症患者相比，缓解期精神分裂症患者在这些测试中表现较差。研究结果表明，即使在临床缓解期，门诊精神分裂症患者也存在信息处理缺陷。
