Psychopharmacologic and clinical correlates of attention in chronic schizophrenia

ME Strauss, MF Lew, JT Coyle and LE Tune

Distractibility and reaction time were measured in 25 clinically stable chronic schizophrenic subjects receiving psychotropic medications. Higher serum neuroleptic levels were associated with lessened distractibility. Extrapyramidal side effects and level of symptoms were each related to slow and variable reaction times.
