Abstract
Cognitive flexibility in set shifting is related to tendency towards relapse in first-episode schizophrenic patients. Other cognitive factors appear not to be related to relapse. Possible mechanisms included the link between prefrontal dysfunction and sub-cortical dopamine system stability, as well as the effects of executive dysfunction on insight impairment and adherence behavior.
