CLINICAL JUDGMENT OF SOME ASPECTS OF SCHIZOPHRENIC THINKING.

The article investigates whether or not the reliability of judgment will continue to be found when specific dimensions or aspects of schizophrenic thinking, that is, the potential intelligence exhibited in the response, the communicability of the response, and its position on a scale of concreteness-abstraction, are substituted for the general dimension of how schizophrenic each of these responses is. Moreover, as a more specific, supposedly more demanding task is substituted for the general one, will the gap in ability between the trained clinicians and the naive subjects increase, or will the performance of the naive subjects continue at its previous high level.
