The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of visual backward-masking (VBM) in patients with early onset schizophrenia (EOS, n=28) compared to healthy controls (n=80) at baseline and at one- and two-year follow-ups. Seventeen patients and 40 controls performed a VBM task at all three sessions, which included five different interstimuli intervals (ISI) at 16.5, 33.5, 49.5, 116 and 166ms, and an additional no-masking control task. Patients with EOS revealed no impairment of VBM performance at baseline and at the two follow-ups compared to healthy controls at one- and two-year follow-ups. However, the patients demonstrated a deficit of simple early visual processing. Both groups showed effects of development over a period of 24 months for the shortest ISIs.
本研究旨在考察视觉后向掩蔽(VBM)对早期发病精神分裂症(EOS,n=28)患者的影响,并与健康对照组(n=80)进行比较,观察基线、1 年和 2 年随访时的情况。17 名患者和 40 名对照组在所有三个阶段都进行了 VBM 任务,其中包括 5 个不同的刺激间间隔(ISI),分别为 16.5、33.5、49.5、116 和 166ms,以及一个额外的无掩蔽对照任务。与健康对照组相比,EOS 患者在基线和 1 年和 2 年随访时的 VBM 表现均无损伤。然而,患者表现出简单的早期视觉处理缺陷。两组在 24 个月的时间内都表现出最短 ISI 的发展效应。
