ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate thc cvent-based prospective memory (EBPM)and time-based prospective memory(TBPM)in the inpatients with abstinent alcohol dependence and the relationships between prospective memory and symptoms.Methods 32 male patients with alcohol dependence and 30 normal controls matched by age,education,HAMD and HAMA were assessed with a neuropsychological battery of tests including EBPM and TBPM tasks.Results A statistically significant in EBPM was observed between patients with alcohol dependence and normal controls (3.91 ± 0.69 vs.4.47 ± 0.63,t =-3.348,P < 0.0 1) and the same result in TBPM (3.28 ±0.77 vs.4.20 ±0.66,t=-5.032,P<0.01).The positively correlation was showed between the duration of abstinence and EBPM (r =0.444,P < 0.05),as well as TBPM (r =O.423,P < 0.05) in the patients.Conclusion The results suggest abstinent alcohol dependence patients impairs both EBPM and TBPM.PM shows correlated with duration of abstinence moderately in the patients.
