BACKGROUND Schizophrenia and affective psychoses share several common biological origins, particularly genetic susceptibility. Kraepelin posited that differing clinical expressions in these disorders reflect different etiopathologies. We tested a neuropsychological component of this hypothesis by evaluating verbal memory and visual memory performance in nonpsychotic youth at familial risk for p...

It is controversial whether long-term anticholinergic therapy (AC-T) can cause short-term memory disturbance, long-term memory disturbance or intelligence impairment. Ninety patients with Parkinson's disease were examined prospectively to clarify the existence of memory and intelligence impairment induced by long-term AC-T. Neuropsychological tests detected eight patients with at least one of f...

abstract aim and background: the present research studied episodic and semantic memory in quran memories and non- quran memories among girl students. methods and materials: research design was based on semi-experimental design. this study included 180 quran memories, beginner and non quran memories among girl students in 3 educational grades: primary, secondary and high school were chosen by cl...

It is usually assumed that performance on non-verbal intelligence tests reflects visual cognitive processing and that aspects of working memory (WM) will be involved. However, the unique contribution of memory to non-verbal scores is not clear, nor is the unique contribution of vocabulary. Thus, we aimed to investigate these contributions. Non-verbal test scores for 17 individuals with intellec...

A prior study found a selective deficit in verbal working memory in a subgroup of patients with schizophrenia who performed as well as healthy controls on a screening test of attention and auditory perception [Arch. Gen. Psychiatry 55 (1998) 1093]. Given the importance of defining pathophysiologically distinct subtypes of schizophrenia, the present study aimed to replicate and extend this findi...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to determine whether the regions of the prefrontal and parietal cortices showing abnormal activation among individuals with schizophrenia during working memory tasks are associated with either 1) phonological coding processes that may be specific to verbal tasks (i.e., ventral prefrontal and parietal cortices) or 2) domain-general executive processes engaged...

Verbal short-term memory (STM) impairment is one of the most consistent associated deficits observed in developmental reading disorders such as dyslexia. Few studies have addressed the nature of this STM impairment, especially as regards the ability to temporarily store serial order information. This question is important as studies in typically developing children have shown that serial order ...

TITLE A functional (f) MRI-based model for individual memory assessment in patients eligible for temporal lobe resection. AIM To investigate if pre-operative fMRI memory paradigms, add predictive information with regard to post-surgical memory deficits. METHODS Fourteen pharmacoresistant Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) patients accepted for Anterior Temporal Lobe Resection (ATLR) were included...
