Abstract

The purpose of this study is to characterize the cognitive functions of schizophrenic patients using different auditory and visual event-related potentials (ERPs) based on Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST). From the experimental results, it is indicated that there is a slowness of automatic cognitive processing and controlled cognitive processing during WCST in comparison with ERPs for schizophrenic patients
