Implicit Memory in Schizophrenia: A Meta-Analysis

Previous studies examining implicit memory in schizophrenia yielded inconsistent results. The present meta-analysis aimed at determining whether, compared to healthy controls, schizophrenic patients: a) exhibited reduced priming in the whole set of studies; b) were differentially impaired in conceptual/perceptual and production/identification tests; and c) were less efficient in the use of semantic encoding processes.
