[Neuropsychological study of memory in the complex clinical, psychological and neurophysiologic examination of children with schizophrenia].

Combined clinical, psychologic and neurophysiological investigation was conducted in children with slow-progredient schizophrenia: with dominant affective disorders and hypomaniac states (Group I, 14 patients), and with predominant neurosis-like and psychopathy-like pathology (Group II, 12 patients). The patients distinctly differed in not only the clinical course of the disease but also according to neuropsychological investigations of memory, pathopsychological and EEG studies. These data are reliably intercorrelated.

[Clinico-psychological examination of children with protracted hypomanic conditions in schizophrenia].

A clinico-psychological study covered 28 children aged 4-13 years with protracted hypomanic states (2-8 years) in 3-10-year-long schizophrenia. The authors investigated peculiarities of the development of cognitive activity (thought and perception). Comparison was made between groups of schizophrenics and control groups (the syndrome of motor disinhibition, schizoid psychopathy).

[Variants of the course of childhood schizophrenia with protracted hypomaniacal states].

Forty schizophrenics (5 girls and 35 boys) aged 4-12 years with long-standing (2-8 years) hypomaniac states were examined. The clinical material was analyzed in comparison with a control group of constitutionally hyperthymic children. The results of the analysis have shown that chronic hypomanias may develop in childhood both in the framework of the ongoing schizophrenic process and in the form of a thymopathic hypomaniac remission.
