Article Synopsis
- Verbal memory (VM) is lower in schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) compared to healthy controls, and it is linked to psychosocial functioning, but the specific processes involved, such as semantic clustering, haven't been extensively studied.
- In a study with 495 participants, SZ showed the worst VM performance, followed by BD and then healthy controls, with healthy controls using semantic clustering more effectively, affecting the link between VM and functioning.
- The findings suggest that SZ and BD may rely on different cognitive strategies that do not involve semantic clustering, highlighting the need for cognitive remediation approaches focused on improving VM in these disorders.*
