Abstract
IMPAIRED PERFORMANCE on standardized neuropsychological tests is recognized as a core characteristic of schizophrenia.1-5 There has always been debate about the nature, selectivity, and time of onset of these cognitive dysfunctions in relationship to the onset of illness. Further characterization of cognitive deficits could be of considerable value in defining the nature of schizophrenia, determining its neurobiological basis, and understanding the types of problems patients have in their daily lives.6Keywords
