TI  - Everyday memory and laboratory memory tests: general function predictors in 
      schizophrenia and remitted depression.
PG  - 677-82
AB  - This study was designed to compare neuropsychological memory measures 
      ("laboratory memory tests") and an everyday memory measure in patients with 
      schizophrenia, patients with major depression, and normal controls. Patients with 
      schizophrenia ( N= 68) treated with typical (N = 33) or atypical ( N= 35) 
      neuroleptics, patients with major depression (N = 30), and a control group (N = 
      36) were evaluated with clinical measures (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale 
      and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale), laboratory memory tests (Digit-Span, 
      Paired-Associates, Rey Complex Figure Test, and Digit-Symbol), everyday memory 
      test (RMBT), and the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF). The schizophrenia 
      group had a significantly lower level of performance in everyday memory and 
      general function but not in laboratory memory tests. Verbal and everyday memory 
      measures were correlated with general function. The diagnosis rather than current 
      symptoms (in remission) contributed to test variance and was correlated with 
      performance on everyday memory and general function tests. Everyday memory and 
      verbal memory were good predictors of general function in schizophrenic and 
      depressive patients in the remitted phase. However, the advantages of these tests 
      over laboratory memory tests need to be further investigated in larger and more 
      representative samples.
