Abstract
Schizophrenia spectrum patients (N = 143) and
healthy controls (N = 160) were administered the
Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) and tests of
executive functioning to directly investigate the effects
of proactive interference (PI) and retroactive interference
(RI) on word list recall. It was hypothesized that by virtue
of the predicted preferential association between executive
functioning and RI (relative to PI), patients would demonstrate
increased susceptibility to RI in their ability to recall
word lists. Results indicated that patients show increased
susceptibility to RI relative to PI. Furthermore, this
difference appeared to be related to the frontally-mediated
central executive functions that were preferentially associated
with RI but not PI susceptibility. (JINS, 2001,
7, 481–490.)
