Abstract

COMMENTARY N THE EARLY part of this ated with this disorder. Perhaps we tion. The other major component of century clinicians be- should be asking not what are the recollection in this study was the lieved that memory impair- memory impairments associated source of the pairing. Source ments were not a feature of with schizophrenia, but rather what memory was also impaired in the pa- I schizophrenia. In con- are the memory impairments asso- tients with schizophrenia in this trast, since the 1960s, application of ciated with particular signs and study, consistent with previous re- psychometric tests has repeatedly re- symptoms. However, there have ports. This observation suggests a vealed that memory impairments can been remarkably few attempts to precise hypothesis about the na- be severe. Nevertheless, the pre- make links between memory im- ture of the underlying memory im- cise nature of these memory impair- pairments and the underlying cog- pairment associated with schizo- ments and their implications for our nitive processes of symptoms.
