Comparing the executive function of patients with schizophrenia, acute/chronic type I disorder (manic episode), and healthy controls on Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and Continuous Performance Test

Abstract

Introduction: From among various cognitive deficits, deficits in executive processes have an effective role in limiting the patients’ ability to retain, acquire, and re-learn the skills necessary for real-life performance. Thus, the present study aimed to compare the executive function of patients with schizophrenia, acute/chronic type I disorder, and the healthy group.
