Deficits in working memory (WM) have been reported in patients with schizophrenia, but WM is a complex construct dependent on several subprocesses, including input representation (perceptual competency) and holding stimuli on-line (maintenance). A visual delayed match-to-sample task (DMST) was developed to isolate perceptual competency from maintenance during delays. It was hypothesized that patients in the first episode of schizophrenia would exhibit dissociable deficits in both WM domains.
