Exploring the link between cognitive impairments and domains of function is a new trend in schizophrenia research. This study reports on the association of verbal memory impairment and initial work function for a group of 87 individuals diagnosed with either schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Multiple regression analyses were used to predict the degree of association between verbal memory variables and ratings on the Work Behavior Inventory (WBI) in the initial week of a vocational rehabilitation program. Results indicated that verbal memory scores predicted 20% of the WBI total score. Results also indicated strong relationships with the individual work domains of work habits and work quality and weaker relationships with the domains of cooperativeness and personal presentation. No significant relationship was found between verbal memory variables and social skills at the job site. Verbal memory impairment is discussed as a rate limiting factor in rehabilitation.
探索认知障碍与功能领域之间的联系是精神分裂症研究的一个新趋势。本研究报告了一组87名被诊断为精神分裂症或分裂情感性障碍的个体的言语记忆障碍与初始工作功能之间的关联。在职业康复项目的第一周，采用多元回归分析来预测言语记忆变量与工作行为量表（WBI）评分之间的关联程度。结果表明，言语记忆分数预测了WBI总分的20%。结果还表明，与工作习惯和工作质量等个体工作领域的关系较强，而与合作性和个人表现领域的关系较弱。在工作场所，言语记忆变量与社交技能之间未发现显著关系。言语记忆障碍被视为康复中的一个限速因素。
