Cognitive function and dissociative disorder status among veteran subjects with chronic posttraumatic stress disorder: a preliminary study
Abstract
Twenty-seven veteran subjects with chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were evaluated for dissociative disorders. Ten subjects met criteria for one or more dissociative disorders, and 17 subjects did not meet dissociative disorder criteria. Neurocognitive profiles of the two groups differed in several areas, with veterans meeting diagnostic criteria for both PTSD and a dissociative disorder and demonstrating considerably greater deficits in attention, autobiographical memory, and verbal memory than PTSD subjects without comorbid dissociative disorder diagnosis.

These findings are consistent with evidence of disrupted episodic and autobiographical memory among individuals with high levels of pathological dissociation.
“these findings are consistent with evidence of disrupted episodic and autobiographical memory among individuals with high levels of pathological dissociation (e.g., Chae et al., 2011;Roca et al., 2006).”

Among veterans with PTSD, those with a comorbid dissociative disorder demonstrated greater deficits on measures of attention, executive function, autobiographical memory, and verbal memory than those with PTSD alone.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
