Abstract
The extent of IQ decline due to the development of illness in patients with chronic schizophrenia and the degree of memory impairment relative to such IQ decline still remain unclear. Our results suggest that schizophrenia patients experience marked IQ decline due to the development of illness and their wide-ranging memory impairments are even more severe than the IQ decline.
