Abstract
We examined the relations between verbal communication disturbances and several hypothesized
etiological factors in 47 schizophrenia spectrum individuals. Both alogia and disturbed
discourse coherence were associated with poor planning abilities. Alogia and discourse
coherence were differentially associated with performance on tasks measuring fluency,
working memory, word finding abilities, and concentration/attention.
