The purpose of this study was to assess cognitive functioning in a group of illicit amphetamine users. A neuropsychological test battery (Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R) and the digit symbol, block design and vocabulary subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) and the National Adult Reading Test (NART)) was administered to 78 amphetamine users (mean age = 22.5 years; 46 males, 33 females). Severity of amphetamine dependence was found to be associated with poorer performance on both memory and attention/concentration indices of the WMS-R. The relative contribution of amphetamine dependence, concurrent drug use and other drug related factors to neuropsychological functioning are discussed.
本研究的目的是评估一组非法使用苯丙胺者的认知功能。对78名苯丙胺使用者（平均年龄=22.5岁；46名男性，33名女性）进行了一套神经心理测试（韦氏记忆量表修订版（WMS-R）、韦氏成人智力量表修订版（WAIS-R）的数字符号、积木图案和词汇子测试以及国家成人阅读测试（NART））。研究发现，苯丙胺依赖的严重程度与WMS-R的记忆和注意力/专注力指标表现较差有关。本文讨论了苯丙胺依赖、同时使用其他药物及其他与药物相关的因素对神经心理功能的相对影响。
