Neuropsychological functioning in early and chronic stages of schizophrenia and psychotic bipolar disorder
Neuropsychological impairment is common in schizophrenia and psychotic bipolar disorder. It has been hypothesized that the pathways leading to impairment differ between disorders.

The current investigation tested several key predictions of this hypothesis.
