This study examines the cognitive profiles of older adults with schizophrenia and/or schizoaffective disorders indexed by intelligence quotient (IQ) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA). Of our participants, 39% exhibited cognitive impairment and results suggest that the nonverbal deficit was greater than the verbal deficit.
