Changes of associative performance in hospitalized schizophrenics: a 16-year follow-up

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica
K Flekkoy

Abstract

After a mean test-retest interval of 16.6 years a sample of 72 initially acute/subacute as well as chronic schizophrenic patients showed a significant normalisation of performance with respect to associative commonality, idiosyncratic responses, and response latency. The findings are attributed chiefly to effects of psychotropic drugs and improved psychiatric treatment.
