title: [Cognitive performance profile in schizophrenic patients].
abstract: The cognitive abilities of 189 schizophrenics were investigated by standard tests of intelligence, verbal and non-verbal, selected according to current models of information processing in schizophrenia, to show a specific cognitive deficit. The diagnostic procedure followed the St. Louis research diagnostic criteria. The following cognitive profile has been found: Good verbal abilities and good abilities in verbal abstractions, middle-sized deficit in non-verbal intelligence and non-verbal abstractions but also in cognitive accuracy and in the range of attention. The deficit in concentrations was very high. This characteristic cognitive profile is very useful for the rehabilitation of the patients and probably also for the diagnosis.
