Abstract

BACKGROUND: The context memory deficit hypothesis of schizophrenia postulates that the long-term deficit associated with this disorder is related to a memory impairment for contextual information. METHOD: To test this hypothesis, memory for temporal context was assessed in 33 patients with schizophrenia and 33 normal subjects, using a recency discrimination task. RESULTS: Whereas patients were able to recall and recognise target items, they were unable to recognise from among the target items those which had been most recently learned. CONCLUSIONS: Schizophrenia is associated with a temporal context memory deficit.
