Abstract

The article addresses the issues of cognitive impairment among persons with alcohol dependence, aggravated by alcoholic encephalopathy and paroxysmal conditions.

The aim of the study was to identify the levels of impaired short-term memory, to identify cognitive impairment of patients with alcohol addiction with alcoholic encephalopathy and paroxysmal conditions.

Materials and methods: 132 people from the contingent of alcohol addicts (AА) and from the contingent of healthy and 4 comparison groups have been identified and examined over the two years on the basis of KNP CHOR «Regional Clinical Narcological Hospital No. 3». The following techniques were used to assess psychosocial and cognitive impairment: “Jacobson Short-Term Memory Measurement Technique”; "The methodology for determining the index of short-term memory proposed by L. S. Muchnik and V. M. Smirnov (1968)".

Result. According to the results of the researches, the cognitive and mnemonic sphere of persons with AА, AE and PS were expressed in the form of significant reduction of short-term memory and cognitive impairment. The presence of significantly "deeper" and "gross" degenerative-organic lesions of the central nervous system in chronic alcoholic lesions with the development of alcoholic encephalopathy and paroxysmal states of alcoholic genesis has been proved.

Conclusions. Thus, the obtained research results only confirm the data of numerous world sources on the development of cognitive decline in individuals with alcohol dependence
