TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Self-report and objective measures of cognitive deficit in patients entering substance abuse treatment JO - Psychiatry research A1 - Horner, M. D. A1 - Harvey, R. T. A1 - Denier, C. A. SP - 155 EP - 161 VL - 86 IS - 2 N2 - The relationship between self-reported cognitive deficits and objectively measured cognitive performance was examined in 86 patients entering substance abuse treatment. Self-ratings of cognitive impairment were strongly correlated with indices of depression and vulnerability to stress, but not with objective cognitive performance. Confirming the lack of relationship between self-report and objective cognitive measures, cognitive performance did not differ between patients at the extremes of the cognitive-complaint distribution; and cognitively impaired patients did not differ from cognitively intact patients in their self-ratings of impairment.
