Memory Remediation Group. Subjects in the memory
remediation group worked on a collection of activities
Subjects in the two treatment groups and
control group were compared on demographic variables.
Descriptive statistics for these variables are presented in
table 1. The three groups were equivalent on age, socioeconomic
status, gender, diagnosis, age of first hospitalization,
type of neuroleptic administered, and use of anticholinergics.
A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)
found a significant between-group difference (F2 53 =
7.23, p < 0.002) on educational level. Post hoc comparisons
found that the mean educational level for the memory
group was significantly lower than the mean for both
the control group (p < 0.004) and the problem-solving
group (p < 0.007). The problem-solving group did not significantly
differ in educational level from the control
group.
