“…21 Subtests relying on previously learned material and on verbal associations (i.e., Vocabulary, Information, Object Assembly, Picture Completion) are more resistant to organicity and/or advancing age. [22][23] On the other hand, subtests requiring immediate memory, concentration, response speed, and abstract concept formation (i.e., Digit Span, Similarities, Digit Symbol, Block Design) are more prone to be affected by such factors.…”

Numerous studies have assessed a wide range of cognitive deficits associated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The comparison of these various results, however, is hampered by the fact that different studies employ different neuropsychological tests, even when assessing the same function. The aim of this paper is to present a standardized neuropsychological test battery for the evaluation of OSAS patients. Following a description of the general characteristics of OSAS, we review the main cognitive functions reported as being impaired in OSAS patients. These include general intellectual functioning, attentional functioning, memory and learning abilities, executive functions, and motor performance. Based on this review, we propose a test battery designed to cover these cognitive processes while taking into account the time constraints present in most research and clinical centers. In addition to providing a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation of OSAS patients, the proposed test battery should facilitate the comparison of results from different laboratories.

“…[1][2][3][4][5] There has always been debate about the nature, selectivity, and time of onset of these cognitive dysfunctions in relationship to the onset of illness. Further characterization of cognitive deficits could be of considerable value in defining the nature of schizophrenia, determining its neurobiological basis, and understanding the types of problems patients have in their daily lives.…”

Background: Cognitive impairment is recognized as a core characteristic of schizophrenia. There has always been a debate about the nature, selectivity, and time of onset of these deficits in relationship to the onset of illness and treatment factors. To our knowledge, the present study represents the largest sample of mostly neurolepticnaive patients with first-episode schizophrenia that has been reported to date.

Schizophrenic neuropsychological disorders are increasingly a focus of interest in research. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of a battery of psychological tests for detectingIntroducción a evaluación neuropsicológica examina la integridad del funcionamiento cerebral a través del rendimiento de las personas frente a tests objetivos y estandarizados. Su aplicación a pacientes esquizofrénicos permite colaborar con el diagnóstico clínico y entregar información sobre los déficits y las habilidades remanentes que presentan estos pacientes (1,2) .Los estudios sobre alteraciones neuropsicoló-gicas en la esquizofrenia describen principalmente dos tipos de déficit: generalizados y específi-cos. Algunos autores se refieren a alteraciones cognitivas más bien generalizadas, que implican funciones que se encuentran representadas en diversas áreas del sistema nervioso central. Otros destacan la existencia de alteraciones específicas que provocan déficits significativos en pruebas que exploran percepción visual, memoria verbal, memoria visoespacial y recuerdo libre. Estas alteraciones más específicas comprometen a sistemas cerebrales restringidos, localizados principalmente en áreas prefrontales, circuito frontoestriado y áreas témporo-límbicas, lo cual se corroboraría con hallazgos obtenidos a través de neuroimágenes (3) .Los pacientes esquizofrénicos presentan un patrón común de alteraciones cognitivas: lentificación de los procesos cognitivos, sin pérdida de eficacia en la realización de las actividades. Se muestran afectadas tanto la atención como la memoria. Las habilidades requeridas para preparar, elaborar y controlar la conducta también se alteran. La capacidad de abstracción, la comprensión, el cálculo y el manejo de información aparecen disminuidas en estos pacientes.Galindo y cols destacaron en los esquizofré-
