Mothers of the Ss who became schizophrenic tended to exhibit psychosis precipitated by childbirth, instability in relations with men, and antisocial behaviors. (CL)

The study investigated sentence memory of 15 young adult schizophrenics as compared to that of 15 nonschizophrenic patients and 15 normals. The schizophrenics' incidental recall was comparable to that of normals. (Author/SBH)

A large number of principles have been offered to account for thought disorder in schizophrenia. The two with which this paper is concerned are overinclusion and self-editing deficit. (Author)

This study investigates word-storage structure and processes of organization and retrieval in 17 young schizophrenics and 13 normal subjects. (Editor)

The present investigation attempts to compare four formal systematic approaches (loose associations, autism, loss of ego boundaries, and delusions) to the diagnosis of schizophrenia with the traditional, more informal hospital procedures typically used in psychiatric inpatient settings. (Author/RK)

It is argued that conclusions drawn from Kirkegaard-Sorensen and Mednick's recent study on criminality are weakened by inadequate selection of controls. (Editor)

Psychiatric diagnoses are powerfully influenced by the contexts in which patients are found and the expectations of diagnosticians. The observations of Millon, Spitzer, and Weiner on Rosenhan's "On Being Sane in Insane Places" (AA 521 951) were examined for the implications they held for the meanings of sanity and insanity. (Editor/RK)

The present experiment investigated the effects of preexperimental social deprivation and satiation on the responsitivity of chronic schizophrenic patients to contingent social stimulation. (Author/RK)

Imagery and categorization were orthogonally varied in an assessment of recognition and recall of process schizophrenics (process group), reactive schizophrenics (reactive group), and controls (student group). (Editor)

Acute schizophrenics with either good or premorbid histories were compared with control groups of undergraduates and sixth-grade children on their sensitivity to syntactic structure in speech perception. (Editor)

An attempt was made to uncover dysfunctions in any of the mechanisms in selective attention, as well as any unusual allocation policy, which possibly exist in schizophrenia. (Author/RK)

The present study reports data obtained from chronic schizophrenic patients which relate formal categories of language behavior to performance on the Stroop Color-Word Interference Test--a task of verbal encoding under distracting and nondistracting conditions. (Editor)
