Frontal and non-frontal lobe neuropsychological test performance and clinical symptomatology in schizophrenia.
Schizophrenic subjects performed significantly worse on neuropsychological tests of frontal lobe function but not on tests of non-frontal lobe function when compared to a matched group of normal subjects. Correlations expected between frontal lobe neuropsychological test performance and negative symptoms were not found.
