Semantic processing deficits are central to cognitive abnormalities in schizophrenia. Such semantic deficits may be related to either poor access or poor storage of semantic knowledge. 32 schizophrenia patients and 32 matched normal controls performed five semantic processing tasks that examined item-specific consistency over time, the word frequency effect and semantic priming. A subgroup of patients performed tasks on three separate occasions. It is generally assumed that a storage deficit is signalled by item-specific consistent performance, ail exaggerated effect of word frequency, and the occurrence of hyperpriming; ail access deficit is signalled by the absence of these effects. The data demonstrated item-specific consistency, a frequency effect and significant hyperpriming. The pattern is consistent with a storage deficit of semantic memory in schizophrenia.
