tients are impaired in the comprehension of sentences with&lt;br /&gt;
complex syntax. We investigated the hypothesis that this&lt;br /&gt;
syntactic comprehension impairment in schizophrenia is not a&lt;br /&gt;
purely linguistic dysfunction, but rather the re ̄ection of a&lt;br /&gt;
cognitive sequence processing impairment that is revealed as&lt;br /&gt;
task complexity increases. We tested 10 schizophrenic patients&lt;br /&gt;
using a standard measure of syntactic comprehension, and a&lt;br /&gt;
non-linguistic sequence processing task, both of which required&lt;br /&gt;
simple and complex transformation processing. Patients&lt;br /&gt;
performance impairment on the two tasks was highly corre-&lt;br /&gt;
lated (r2  0.84), and there was a signi&amp;reg;cant effect for complex-&lt;br /&gt;
ity, independent of the task. These results are quite similar to&lt;br /&gt;
those of aphasic patients with left hemisphere lesions. This&lt;br /&gt;
suggests that syntactic comprehension de&amp;reg;cits in schizophrenia&lt;br /&gt;
reveal the dysfunction of cognitive sequence processing&lt;br /&gt;
mechanisms that can be expressed both in linguistic and non-&lt;br /&gt;
linguistic sequence tasks. NeuroReport 11:2145&amp;plusmn;2149 &amp;amp; 2000&lt;br /&gt;
