Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2, 4
Explanation: Negative symptoms refer to affects and behaviors that are diminished or absent in patients with SSDs. These include social withdrawal, lack of motivation (avolition), thought blocking, and a blunted affect. Positive symptoms involve additions to normal experiences and include hallucinations and delusions as well as abnormal movements and problems with speech. Cognitive symptoms include memory and attention deficits, language difficulties, and problems with executive functioning. Neural symptoms refer to symptoms dealing with brain functioning.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 5
Explanation: Neurologic signs are divided into hard and soft signs. Hard signs indicate impaired reflex, sensory, or motor functioning and include hypoalgesia, impaired olfactory functioning, and oculomotor abnormalities. Soft signs are deficits that do not implicate specific brain areas and include grimacing, increased blink rates, problems sequencing motor tasks, and asterognosis.
