title: [Neurophysiology and neuropsychology of recognition confabulation in hospitalized schizophrenic patients].
abstract: Recognition confabulation was studied in 16 schizoprhenic patients and 16 normal controls. Half of the schizophrenics presented recognition confabulation, while the remaining 8 and 16 controls did not. This type of confabulation was associated to attentional deficiency, difficulties in perceptual follow-up and perceptive changes. These test satisfactorily discriminated confabulating schizoprhenics and both ill and healthy non-confabulating subjects. The possible mechanisms underlying this type of confabulation are discussed, in relation to the deficiences observed.
