Description
Summary:Compared 38 male and 12 female schizophrenics and a matched group of normals on a test of stimulus generalization, Epstein's Inclusion Test, and the Vocabulary subtest of the WAIS. Schizophrenics generalized significantly more than normal Ss (p < .001). Correlations computed between stimulus generalization, overinclusion, and vocabulary were inconsistent when data of schizophrenic and normal Ss were examined. (16 ref.)
