P03-189 - Explicit memory in Schizophrenia - 05/05/11
Résumé |
Objective |
Study of explicit memory of schizophrenic patients. Compared with control subjects.
Methods |
n=21:
- | Schizophrenia Group (GE): 14 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia (DSM-IV criteria) |
- | Control Group (CG): 7 subjects with no psychiatric diagnosis. |
Data analysis:
- | Analysis of variance for comparison between groups |
- | Contrast-Test Means for intragroup analysis performance |
Results |
Variables: gender, age, duration, and medication, as well as attitude, mood, attention, comprehension, difficulty and interest shown in the tests.
Significant differences were observed between schizophrenic and control in cued recall (proportion of hits: GE=33% +41% Chronic severe, GC=60%: p=0.009) and recognition (hit rate: GE=32% +32% Acute Chronic, GC=41.11%, p=0.009) that could be explained by a deficit in encoding and retrieval presemantic. Free Recall No significant (P=0.0113) There were no significant differences between acute and chronic in Free Recall (P=0.0864), cued recall (P=0.255) and recognition (p=0.998).
Conclusion |
In the sample studied was observed:
Explicit Memory Impairement from early stages of schizophrenia.
- | Impairment of memory processes that require conscious control |
- | Difficulty in voluntary recall, conscious and strategic characteristic of explicit memory, although providing it with keys. |
