The effects of electroconvulsive therapy on cognition: an exploratory retrospective study
No major cognitive changes were observed. While test results indicated deterioration in verbal learning and improvement in visual learning and motoric reaction time, effect sizes were small, and other cognitive tests showed no significant changes. The main limitation is the absence of retrograde memory assessment.
