Extract

This is the first of a series of papers reporting studies of various cognitive disorders in schizophrenia. The present paper deals with the validity of certain tests as measures of thought-process disorder: subsequent papers will relate type of disorder to various sub-categories of schizophrenia, as diagnosed clinically and by the Symptom-Sign Inventory (Foulds, 1965).
