TL;DR: The results suggest that T MT-A requires mainly visuoperceptual abilities, TMT-B reflects primarily working memory and secondarily task-switching ability, while B-A minimizes visu operceptual and working memory demands, providing a relatively pure indicator of executive control abilities.

TL;DR: Recent studies carried out in young patients with first-episode psychosis (FEP), along with methodological artefacts in studies of chronic populations, suggest that the magnitude of weight gain reported by much of the literature could be an underestimation of the true magnitude of this adverse effect.

TL;DR: Normal ageing impaired both direct and derived TMT indices, as revealed by lower scores in the healthy elderly group as compared with young (16-24) and middle-aged (25-54) healthy participants.

TL;DR: Deficits in executive and motor functioning in patients with first-episode psychosis are associated with reductions in white matter integrity in the major fasciculi that connect the frontal and temporal cortices as well as in pathways connecting cortical and subcortical regions.

TL;DR: Speed of information processing may be considered a core cognitive deficit in schizophrenia and might be mediating a broader diversity of cognitive disturbances.
