Verbal memory function was assessed in 27 schizophrenic patients and 19 healthy control subjects matched for premorbid IQ and age using a test battery comprising measures of short-term, long-term and source memory. Patients were also rated for positive and negative symptoms. Results indicated that the patient group evinced poorer performance on all tests of short-term memory, and most tests of long-term memory, and that these differences remained when current IQ was introduced as a covariate. Within the patient group, overall verbal memory performance was associated only with a negative symptoms. Results are discussed in the context of a generalised neuropsychological deficit in schizophrenia.
使用一套包含短期、长期和源记忆测量的测试组，对27名精神分裂症患者和19名在病前智商和年龄上相匹配的健康对照者的言语记忆功能进行了评估。还对患者的阳性和阴性症状进行了评分。结果表明，患者组在所有短期记忆测试以及大多数长期记忆测试中表现较差，并且在将当前智商作为协变量引入时，这些差异仍然存在。在患者组中，总体言语记忆表现仅与阴性症状相关。本文在精神分裂症普遍性神经心理学缺陷的背景下对结果进行了讨论。
