Abstract
- In the present study, the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) was administered to symptomatic HIV+ (n = 31), asymptomatic HIV+ (n = 94), and HIV-normal control (HIV-NC) (n = 40) subjects to assess the prevalence and nature of their verbal memory deficits. Symptomatic HIV+ subjects were significantly impaired relative to HIV-control subjects on CVLT measures of acquisition and retention, and were significantly less likely than control subjects to use a semantic clustering strategy to support recall. The performance of the asymptomatic HIV+ subjects fell between those of the symptomatic HIV+ subjects and HIV-controls on almost every CVLT measure. A linear discriminant function analysis (DFA) was used to compare the performances of these three groups to Alzheimer's disease (AD), Huntington's disease (HD), and normal control (NC) subjects on three CVLT measures, including total recall over five learning trials, intrusion errors, and a derived score of delayed recognition discriminability minus the...
