Except for age, which was entered as a covariate, subjects did not differ in any sociodemographic background variable. Healthy controls showed superior performance relative to depressive and schizophrenic patients who exhibited comparable deficits in all tasks. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients revealed dysfunctions in the Trail-Making Tests A and B and in the fluency task. Dysfunctions in the domains of working memory, verbal fluency, distractibility, and concept formation were not confined to a specific psychiatric population.",
