Intact prototype learning in schizophrenia
In this study, we examined executive functions and visual prototype learning in patients with schizophrenia (n=22) and matched healthy control subjects (n=20). The patients demonstrated marked perseveration in the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), whereas they successfully learned prototypes of do...

| Tartalmi kivonat: | In this study, we examined executive functions and visual prototype learning in patients with schizophrenia (n=22) and matched healthy control subjects (n=20). The patients demonstrated marked perseveration in the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), whereas they successfully learned prototypes of dot-pattern category exemplars. These findings are against the hypothesis of a pure generalized cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia, providing preliminary evidence for intact neocortical mechanisms related to perceptual classification functions. |
