Our research method was causal- comparative. statistical population were patients with schizophrenia in Mirzakochak mental hospital and patients with multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer s disease that are kept by formal caregivers in welfare centers in Guilan or by informal caregivers in families in Rasht city of Guilan province in Iran. 45 persons with MS٫ Alzheimer s disease and schizophrenia (in each group 15 persons) were randomly selected by accessible sampling method in 1393. Then, subjects were asked to response to Wechsler Memory Scale to assess Conscious memory and Stroop test for assess of Unconscious memory and sensory profile questionnaires to measure of Sensory processing and. Then raw data were analyzed by multiple analyses of variance with using of spss16 software. P value less than 0/05٫namely p<0/05 was considered as significant. The result showed that there was significant difference between conscious memories٫ unconscious memories and sensory. Conscious memory in schizophrenia was significantly better than the other two groups and multiple sclerosis was in the second grade. Unconscious memory in schizophrenia group was significantly better than the other two groups. In sensory processing the Alzheimer group was significantly better than the other two groups٫and the schizophrenia was lower than the other two groups. Conscious of Alzheimer in time of fourth card (mean=74/93٫cl 95% =64/87 – 84/98٫ p=0/005<0/01) ٫ unconscious of Alzheimer in time of 2th card (mean=54/78 cl 95%= 47/18-62/38٫ p=0/001<0/01)٫ sensory processing of Alzheimer (mean=48/80 cl 95%= 45/10-52/49٫ p=0/001<0/01)٫ had the maximum mean in three groups.
