Dysexecutive Syndrome in Schizophrenia: A Cross-Cultural Comparison between Japanese and British Patients by H. Ihara, G. E. Berrios, P. J. McKenna

“…This study tested the hypothesis that the dysexecutive syndrome of schizophrenia is impervious to cultural differences. 18 Japanese and 22 British patients and 14 Japanese and 19 British control subjects were compared on the BADS (Behavioural Assessment of Dysexecutive Syndrome), a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment battery, designed for ‘ecological validity’, and other measures of frontal executive functions (EFs). Both cultural groups of schizophrenic patients showed equally severe impairment in most executive tests including the BADS (verbal fluency and intelligence were less impaired). …”
