Reminiscence and stage of illness in schizophrenia.

Abstract
When given a repetitive inverse alphabet printing task to perform for 5 min. of massed practice, Early Stage schizophrenics (N=16) displayed a greater degree of improvement in performance (reminiscence) after a 2-min. rest than did Advanced Stage schizophrenics (N = 16). Early Stage and Advanced Stage schizophrenia were defined in terms of a theory of schizophrenia which postulates differential levels of arousal as characteristic of the stages of the disorder.
