Picture sequencing by schizophrenic patients

Cognitive sequencing by community-dwelling schizophrenic patients was studied using a new test of picture sequencing designed to minimize the influence of information-processing speed, visual perception and scanning, manual dexterity and motor speed, and knowledge of social conventions on test scores. Compared with age- and education-equated normal community controls, more than 50% of the schizophrenic patients exhibited deficits on the picture sequencing test.
