Abstract
The influence of the emotional valence of words on conscious awareness was assessed in patients with schizophrenia. The remember/know procedure was used to test 24 patients with schizophrenia and 24 normal comparison subjects. Patients' "remember" responses and conscious recollection were more frequent for emotional words than for neutral words. In contrast, the levels of "know" responses and familiarity were independent of emotional words. Patients with schizophrenia consciously recollected emotional words better than neutral words.
