Zusammenfassung:Replicated an experiment by A. Burstein (see PA, Vol. 36:3JQ55B) on the incorrect word choices of schizophrenics, with more rigorous control of the intelligence variable. It was hypothesized that 60 schizophrenics would exceed 50 normals of similar intelligence (as measured by the Shipley-Institute of Living Scale for Measuring Intellectual Impairment Vocabulary test) in choosing homonyms and antonyms when instructed to select synonyms for stimulus words. Results support the hypothesis, indicating that schizophrenics confuse cognitive criteria for determining similarity of word meaning with word sound and opposition of word meaning, regardless of intelligence level.
