Abstract
Negative symptoms and aspects of neurocognitive functioning were correlated with decision-making capacity in this large sample of moderately ill subjects with schizophrenia. In multiple regression models predicting performance on the MacCAT-CR scales, working memory was the only consistent predictor of the components of decision-making capacity. Individuals with schizophrenia who have prominent cognitive dysfunction, especially memory impairment, may warrant particular attention when participating in research.
