摘要：

The cognitive functioning of a patient with AIDS-related Complex (ARC) was studied using a memory scanning procedure. The patient demonstrated normal memory scanning accuracy. However, reaction time data revealed psychomotor slowing and impaired information processing. His performance decrements were similar to those of patients with subcortical neurologic disorders. These findings suggest that an abnormally slow rate of central information processing may be one feature of dementia associated with subcortical pathology in AIDS. The addition of the memory scanning task to neuropsychological batteries may be helpful in identifying early cognitive changes in human immunodeficiency virus (HN)-infected patients.
