In relation to systems of memory of our research report, we classify the memory explicit, voluntary, conscious; While the implicit memory does not require deliberate or conscious recovery. In addition to aging, psychiatric diseases are other common causes of cognitive impairment; more specifically, the psychotic disorder affected the declarative (explicit) verbal memory, working memory and there are other cognitive deficits. Methodology: The objective of this study is to analyze the evolution of the psychotic disorder (in years) in relation to memory and cognitive impairment, as well as describe possible associations between the two types of cognitive impairment and memory (implicitaexplicita). It is a descriptive, observational, transversal study consisting of three samples of patients with psychotic disorder. Results: Average proportions in the first two groups (0-5 years of evolution of the psychotic disorder 10-15 years of evolution) in the third group (25-35 years of evolution) to the results of explicit memory. Regarding the implicit memory is observed the existence of Priming in the three groups. While scoring positive in the screening of cognitive impairment it is progressively higher by increasing the years of evolution of the disease. Conclusions: People with more years of evolution of the psychotic disorder have greater cognitive impairment and average scores lower in explicit memory; While the implicit memory stays stable regardless of the years of evolution of the disease.
