عوامل مرتبط شناختی علائم و نشانه های اسکیزوفرنی: بخش اول: اختلالات ارتباطی کلامی

Both alogia and disturbed discourse coherence were associated with poor planning abilities. Alogia and discourse coherence were differentially associated with performance on tasks measuring fluency, working memory, word finding abilities, and concentration/attention.
