Research Abstract

The main purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between cognitive dysfunction and clinical symptoms as well as quality of life(QOL) in schizophrenia. The results showed that cognitive dysfunction correlated with negative symptoms and extrapyramidal symptoms. Cognitive dysfunction also showed correlation with objective but not subjective QOL. Levels of life skills correlated with speed of processing domain of cognitive function.
