Neurocognitive Deficit in Schizophrenia: A Quantitative Review of the Evidence
2.4K
TL;DR: The results indicate that schizophrenia is characterized by a broadly based cognitive impairment, with varying degrees of deficit in all ability domains measured by standard clinical tests.

Abstract: The neurocognitive literature on test performance in schizophrenia is reviewed quantitatively. The authors report 22 mean effect sizes from 204 studies to index schizophrenia versus control differences in global and selective verbal memory, nonverbal memory, bilateral and unilateral motor performance, visual and auditory attention, general intelligence, spatial ability, executive function, language, and interhemispheric tactile-transfer test performance. Moderate to large raw effect sizes (d > .60) were obtained for all 22 neurocognitive test variables, and none of the associated confidence intervals included zero. The results indicate that schizophrenia is characterized by a broadly based cognitive impairment, with varying degrees of deficit in all ability domains measured by standard clinical tests.

Neural changes underlying the development of episodic memory during middle childhood.
Simona Ghetti,Silvia A. Bunge +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that hippocampus-mediated binding continues to develop during middle childhood along with other cortical regions in the prefrontal and parietal cortex and the role of hippocampal projections to and from cortical regions is underscore.

Left Hippocampal Volume as a Vulnerability Indicator for Schizophrenia A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Morphometric Study of Nonpsychotic First-Degree Relatives
Larry J. Seidman,Stephen V. Faraone,Jill M. Goldstein,William S. Kremen,Nicholas J. Horton,Nikos Makris,Rosemary Toomey,David N. Kennedy,Verne S. Caviness,Ming T. Tsuang +9 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that smaller left hippocampi and verbal memory deficits are an expression of early neurodevelopmental compromise, reflecting the degree of genetic liability to schizophrenia.

Computerized Cognitive Training Restores Neural Activity within the Reality Monitoring Network in Schizophrenia
Karuna Subramaniam,Tracy Luks,Melissa Fisher,Gregory V. Simpson,Srikantan S. Nagarajan,Sophia Vinogradov +5 more
TL;DR: These findings demonstrate that a serious behavioral deficit in schizophrenia, and its underlying neural dysfunction, can be improved by well-designed computerized cognitive training, resulting in better quality of life.

Executive functioning in schizophrenia.
TL;DR: Impairment of EF is one of the most commonly observed deficits in schizophrenia through the various disease stages and Disorders in EFs may be considered central facts with respect to schizophrenia and it has been suggested that negative symptoms may be explained by that executive dysfunction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model for estimating the effect size from a series of experiments using a fixed effect model and a general linear model, and combine these two models to estimate the effect magnitude.
