“A Comparative Study of Neuro-Cognitive Correlates in Patients diagnosed with Schizophrenia and Normal Controls”
Keywords:
Schizophrenia, Florid symptoms, Partial Remission, Visual-Motor Functioning, Memory Functioning, Visuo-Constructional AbilityAbstract
In the present study, a neuro-cognitive comparison was carried out among -Visual-Motor Functioning, Memory Functioning, Visuo-Constructional Ability, Response Inhibition and Perceptual Acuity between individuals with Schizophrenia and their approximately matched control. 30 individuals participated in the study. 20 belonged to Normal Population and 10 matched the criteria for Clinical Population.GHQ-28 was used to screen Normal Population and PANSS was used to screen the population diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Tools used for the present study included Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test -I, PGI-Memory Scale, Clock Drawing Test, Stroop Test and Nahor-Benson Test. Product Moment Correlation was calculated for both Normal and Clinical groups. For both the groups, Memory and Response Inhibition was correlated with Visual-Motor Functioning, Visuo-Constructional Ability and Perceptual Acuity. Within the Normal Group, Delayed Recall significantly correlated with Visual-Motor Functioning and Visuo-Constructional Ability. Within Clinical Group, Perceptual Acuity significantly correlated with Visuo-Constructional Ability.
Key Words: Schizophrenia, Florid symptoms, Partial Remission, Visual-Motor Functioning, Memory Functioning, Visuo-Constructional Ability
