Working memory disturbances makes important role in etiopathogenesis and clinical pictures of schizophrenia.This study evaluated a selection of cognitive functions of patients with schizophrenia.
Twenty nine schizophrenic patients (16 male and 13 female), aged 17-64 (mean 32) years, participated in this research.
Neuropsychological tests measuring working memory were performed in patients with schizophrenia: psychomotor speed (TMT A), visuospatial working memory (TMT B), verbal functions (Stroop Test and Verbal Fluency).
Age of patients significantly correlated with prolonging the time of carrying out part A of TMT and the first part of the Stroop Test and correlated with smaller number of words in Verbal Fluency Test. The cognitive dysfunction is more prominent in patients in age above 35 years.
