The article describes the neuropsychological techniques which are applied in the clinical practice in child psychiatry. It describes a system of qualitative and quantitative neuropsychological diagnostics. The role of neuropsychological analysis of the cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia spectrum disorders in children and adolescents is reflected. Hierarchical cluster analysis according to neuropsychological diagnosis helps in the establishing the psychiatric diagnosis.

AbstractBackgroundCognitive disturbances are widely pronounced in schizophrenia and schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Whilst cognitive deficits are well established in the prodromal phase and are known to deteriorate at the onset of schizophrenia, there is a certain discrepancy of findings regarding the cognitive alterations over the course of the illness.MethodsWe bring together the results of the longitudinal studies identified through PubMed which have covered more than 3 years follow-up and to reflect on the potential factors, such as sample characteristics and stage of the illness which may contribute to the various trajectories of cognitive changes.ResultsA summary of recent findings comprising the changes of the cognitive functioning in schizophrenia patients along the longitudinal course of the illness is provided. The potential approaches for addressing cognition in the course of schizophrenia are discussed.ConclusionsGiven the existing controversies on the course of cognitive changes in schizophrenia, differentiated approaches specifically focusing on the peculiarities of the clinical features and changes in specific cognitive domains could shed light on the trajectories of cognitive deficits in schizophrenia and spectrum disorders.

To investigate the cognitive functioning of children and adolescents with Schizophrenia Spectrum disorders and Psychosis Not Otherwise Specified, 22 child and adolescent psychiatric inpatients and day-hospital patients at a state psychiatric hospital with Schizophrenia Spectrum disorders, 30 with Psychosis Not Otherwise Specified, and 130 with other psychiatric disorders, ages 8 to 17 years, were administered the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–III for psychological assessment at admission. The Performance IQs of the ADHD and the Conduct Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder groups were significantly higher than those of the Schizophrenia Spectrum and the Psychosis Not Otherwise Specified groups, and the Full Scale IQs of the Conduct Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder group were significantly higher than those of the Schizophrenia Spectrum group and the Psychosis Not Otherwise Specified group. The Coding scores of the ADHD group were significantly higher than those of the Schizophrenia Spectrum, the Psychosis Not Otherwise Specified, and the Bipolar Disorder groups. There was a significant negative correlation between age and Digit Span for the Schizophrenia Spectrum disorders group.

This article presents a compound neuropsychological/psychometric analysis of manifestations of defects in children and adolescents with endogenous pathologies. The research was organized among children with diagnosed schizophrenia spectrum disorders: child type schizophrenia, schizotypal personality disorder and other forms of schizophrenia. All patients were on the stationary treatment and had verified diagnosis, defect in cognitive sphere was close to oligofrenic like defect. The experimental group (EG) - 74 children (52 boys), average age - 11,0 ± 2,9 years. Control group (CG) - children and adolescents (64 children, among them 38 boys) from Moscow schools, average age - 11,1 ± 3,0 years. The neuropsychological research was taken on 20 children from EG and on 15 children from CG. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of data included the formulation of criteria of marks of the psychometric and neuropsychological results. Based on our research data we distinguish specific compounds of manifestations of certain cerebrum structure dysfunctions and cognitive dysfunctions that are common in children with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. We also illustrate the differences in localization (in interhemispheric cooperation, cortical structures, subcortical structures) of primary dysfunctions in patients diagnosed with various schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Neuropsychological and psychometric analysis had shown that patients by their functional status are heterogeneous group. The defection of intellectual activity is not total but partial with gradual involvement of different aspects.
