- A diferent neuropsychological approach in problem solving assessment of paranoid schizophrenia patients Judith Salvador Gabriela Galindo y Villa José Cortés Medicina cognition schizophrenia Neuropsychology verbal thought problem solution Schizophrenic patients have deficiences for solving problems, but their nature and specificity is still a motive of controversy. Based on the theory which holds that verbal thought is the organizing function of all intellectual activity, 30 paranoid schizophrenic patients were studies and compared to 30 healthy subjects paired by age, sex and academic education. Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) was used but initial results showed no major differences, except in the IQs. However, thought multiple regression models, factorial analysis and structural analysis, significative qualitative differences were found in the structure relating the functions within the groups. The model obtained for the control group isconsistent with the neuropsychological theory on problem solving, whilethat obtained for the schizophrenic group suggests that there are dysfunctions in the integration of the information as a result of thedisvinculation of thought from the other cognitive abilities. 2001 artículo científico 0185-3325 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=58212403 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=582 Salud Mental application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz Salud Mental (México) Num.1 Vol.24
