Knowledge of the relationship between specific cognitive abnormalitiesand the clinical symptoms of schizophrenia could give insightinto the nature of their underlying pathophysiology. Compositescores were generated for negative, disorganized, and psychoticsymptom ratings in 134 patients with schizophrenia (DSM-IV criteria).Partial correlations (each composite corrected for the others)were computed with neuropsychological measures. Negative symptomswere related to poor performance on tests of verbal learningand memory, verbal fluency, visual memory, and visual-motorsequencing. Disorganized symptoms were correlated with lowerverbal IQ and poor concept attainment. Psychotic symptoms hadno significant relationship with cognitive deficit.
