The effect of auditory stimulus intensity on the reaction time of schizophrenics.
Experiments carried out have shown no evidence for the appearance in schizophrenics of paradoxical increase in reaction time with increase in auditory stimulus intensity. This phenomenon has previously been established for schizophrenics with visual stimulation, and the present experiments gave, with visual stimuli, further evidence of its existence. implications of the difference of results between the two sensory modalities are discussed.
