BACKGROUND: The neuropsychological dysfunction associated with @entity3119 ( @entity3119 ) has similarities to the deficits reported in other affective or @entity148 . We directly compared cognitive function in @entity1 with @entity3119 with that in matched @entity1 with @entity308 and @entity4697 and healthy control subjects to establish the specific nature of @entity51 in @entity3119 . METHODS: Thirty @entity1 with @entity3119 , 30 @entity1 with @entity4697 , 20 @entity1 with @entity308 , and 30 controls completed a computerized neuropsychological battery that assessed the accuracy and latency of executive, visual memory, and attentional functions. RESULTS: The groups did not differ according to age, years of education, or estimated IQ. However, we found group differences in cognitive performance. The @entity1 with @entity3119 were @entity73 , spatial recognition, and motor initiation and execution. In contrast, performance of these tasks by @entity1 with @entity4697 or @entity308 did not differ from that of controls. There were no group differences for performance on the measures of planning, cognitive speed, pattern recognition, and delayed matching to sample, although @entity1 with @entity308 were impaired for attentional set shifting. CONCLUSIONS: @entity51 were observed in @entity1 with @entity3119 that were not observed in matched @entity1 with @entity4697 or @entity308 . As such, the @entity73 in @entity3119 appears to be related to the specific illness processes associated with the disorder.
