Verbal @entity2414 has been well explored in @entity161 , but it is unclear whether findings relate to the type of material to be learned or the component process required by the memory task. Also, sparse data on @entity2414 also open the question of how well @entity161 @entity1 encode this material. We tested whether episodic memory performance in @entity161 varies as a function of stimulus material (verbal/non-verbal) and determined the integrity of various component memory processes. Memory tests that differ in stimulus material (words, California Verbal Learning Test, CVLT; designs, Biber Figure Learning Test-Extended, BFLT-E) yet produce similar memory component measures were used. Subjects were 28 neuroleptic-medicated inpatients with a diagnosis of chronic @entity161 . Results showed that both @entity2414 performance was impaired relative to age-matched controls. Learning and recall measures were most severely impaired, with memory storage problems and impairment in recognition memory evident. On the verbal task, the relative sparing of recognition memory suggested retrieval processes, in addition to encoding processes, were disrupted. On the non-verbal task, the deficits appeared more limited to encoding. Therefore, while the operational integrity of components such as encoding were compromised regardless of material, retrieval processes showed material-specific effects. To the degree @entity2414 functions can be lateralized in the brain, these data support the possibility of @entity51 and @entity2414 in @entity161 .
