Clinical correlates of parametric digit-symbol substitution test in schizophrenia
Processing speed deficit, ascertained by digit-symbol substitution test (DSST), is considered as a fundamental impairment in schizophrenia. Clinical correlates of processing speed abnormalities, especially using the parametric version of DSST is yet to be evaluated comprehensively. In this study, we examined schizophrenia patients (N=66) and demographically matched healthy controls (N=72) using...

متن کاملPreserved Learning during the Symbol–Digit Substitution Test in Patients with Schizophrenia, Age-Matched Controls, and Elderly
OBJECTIVE Speed of processing, one of the main cognitive deficits in schizophrenia is most frequently measured with a digit-symbol-coding test. Performance on this test is additionally affected by writing speed and the rate at which symbol-digit relationships are learned, two factors that may be impaired in schizophrenia. This study aims to investigate the effects of sensorimotor speed, short-t...
متن کاملWhat can eye movements tell us about Symbol Digit substitution by patients with schizophrenia?
Substitution tests are sensitive to cognitive impairment and reliably discriminate patients with schizophrenia from healthy individuals better than most other neuropsychological instruments. However, due to their multifaceted nature, substitution test scores cannot pinpoint the specific cognitive deficits that lead to poor performance. The current study investigated eye movements during perform...
متن کاملWhat do adult age differences in the Digit Symbol Substitution Test reflect?
Results from three studies are reported in which adults between 18 and 84 years of age performed various versions of the Digit Symbol Substitution Test. The first study revealed that the age-related declines in digit-symbol performance were largely independent of both the amount of education the participants had received and their self-reported health status, and were characterized by a gradual...
