Domain-specific deficits in schizophrenia
Laws, K.R.; Leeson, V.C.; McKenna, P. J. (2006)Introduction. Object recognition deficits are well documented in certain neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, herpes simplex encephalitis). Although agnosic problems have been documented in some patients with ... -
Executive inhibition and semantic association in schizophrenia
Leeson, V.C.; Simpson, A.; McKenna, P. J.; Laws, K.R. (2005)Research indicates that some patients with schizophrenia display aberrant inhibition of semantic memory, which may underpin formal thought disorder (FTD). We administered a novel Stroop-like paradigm to three groups of ... -
Facial emotion processing in schizophrenia : a non-specific neuropsychological deficit?
Pomarol-Clotet, E.; Hynes, F.; Ashwin, C.; Bullmore, E.T.; McKenna, P. J.; Laws, K.R. (2010)Background: Identification of facial emotions has been found to be impaired in schizophrenia but there are uncertainties about the neuropsychological specificity of the finding. Method: Twenty-two patients with schizophrenia ... -
False memory in schizophrenia patients with and without delusions
Bhatt, R.; Laws, K.R.; McKenna, P. J. (2010)Delusions are fixed ‘false beliefs’ and, although a hallmark feature of schizophrenia, no previous study has examined if delusions might be related to ‘false memories’. We used the classic Deese–Roediger–McDermott (DRM) ... -
Formal thought disorder is characterised by impaired lexical access
Leeson, V.C.; Laws, K.R.; McKenna, P. J. (2006)Recent studies have proposed that difficulty with accessing the lexical–semantic memory store may underpin some of the specific linguistic problems associated with formal thought disorder (FTD). We examined the consistency ... -
Hypofrontality in Schizophrenia. A meta-analysis of functional imaging studies
Hill, K.; Mann, L.; Laws, K.R.; Stephenson, C. M. E.; Nimmo-Smith, I.; McKenna, P. J. (2004)Objective: Hypofrontality is not a well-replicated finding in schizophrenia either at rest or under conditions of task activation. Method: Studies comparing whole brain and frontal blood flow/ metabolism in schizophrenic ... -
Is executive impairment associated with schizophrenic syndromes? A meta-analysis
Dibben, C.R.M.; Rice, C.; Laws, K.R.; McKenna, P. J. (2009)A key neuropsychological proposal in schizophrenia is that negative and disorganization symptoms are associated with different patterns of impairment on executive tasks. Reporting correlations between positive, negative ... -

Laws, K.R.; McKenna, P. J.; McCarthy, R.A. (1996)Individual patterns of performance on tests of: visual perception, language, executive function, memory, and face-processing, were examined in 10 schizophrenic patients who were preselected for having current WAIS IQ and ... -

Storage and Access procedures in Schizophrenia: Evidence for a Two Phase Model of Lexical Impairment
Leeson, V.C.; McKenna, P. J.; Laws, K.R. (2005)Evidence has accumulated to show that schizophrenia is characterized by lexicalsemantic difficulties; however, questions remain about whether schizophrenics have problems in accessing intact representations or a loss of ... -
Visual object processing in schizophrenia : evidence for an associative agnosic deficit
Gabrovska, V.S.; Laws, K.R.; Sinclair, J.; McKenna, P. J. (2002)Early studies suggested visual form perception impairment in schizophrenia. To re-examine this claim and characterise the deficit neuropsychologically, 41 schizophrenic patients were administered tests sensitive to different ... -
