Cognitive deficit is present in most of schizophrenia cases and even better explains functional outcomes then positive and
negative symptoms. There have been less consensus regarding the long-term course of cognitive functioning after onset of the illness.
In our study we used a neuropsychological test battery based on Luria`s systematic approach in testing of patients at their first
episode of schizophrenia and schizophrenia spectrum disorders and during 5-year follow-up. The results indicated that patients with
various types of course of schizophrenia and schizophrenia spectrum disorders and hence, good and poor outcomes demonstrated
different patterns of dynamic of cognitive decline during the follow-up.
