Gender differences measured by the MATRICS consensus cognitive battery in chronic schizophrenia patients

Abstract Using Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS), previous study showed significant gender differences for cognitive deficits in immediate and delayed memory in schizophrenia patients. However, RBANS does not include reasoning and problem solving, and social...
