Neuropsychological correlates of remission in chronic schizophrenia subjects: The role of general and task-specific executive processes

Conclusion The present findings suggest that executive function deficits are present in chronic schizophrenic patients. In addition, specific executive processes might be associated to symptom remission. Future studies examining prospectively first-episode, drug naive patients diagnosed with schizophrenia may be especially elucidative.
