The Frontal Lobe Neuropsychological Tests in Patients With Schizophrenia and/or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Abstract

This study compared the performances of matched schizophrenia patients with or without obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms, patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and control subjects on selected frontal lobe tests. Schizophrenic patients without OC were the most impaired; and OCD patients were the least, while schizophrenic patients with OC scored between these two groups.
