The Colour Form Representation Test (CFR) was devised as one of a series of developmentally rooted objective measures of schizophrenic cognitive dysfunction. Based on the observations of Piaget and others in relation to the conceptual use of colour, form and representational cues, it provided a four-level response hierarchy corresponding to the preverbal and early verbal stages of cognitive growth. The CFR was tested with 66 schizophrenics and 42 non-psychotic subjects and found to distinguish between these two groups and among schizophrenic subtypes. It showed significant correlations with measures of cognitive and attentional dysfunction and, longitudinally, was observed to be a reliable instrument that reflected the differential therapeutic outcome of various schizophrenic groups. The research potential of the CFR and its relevance to developmental and psychophysiological theories of schizophrenic cognitive disorder were discussed.
颜色形式表征测试（CFR）是作为一系列基于发展根源的精神分裂症认知功能障碍客观测量方法之一而设计的。基于皮亚杰等人关于颜色、形式和表征线索的概念性使用的观察结果，它提供了一个与认知发展的前语言和早期语言阶段相对应的四级反应层次结构。对66名精神分裂症患者和42名非精神病受试者进行了CFR测试，发现该测试能够区分这两组人群以及精神分裂症的不同亚型。它与认知和注意力功能障碍的测量结果显示出显著相关性，并且从纵向来看，被观察到是一种可靠的工具，能够反映不同精神分裂症群体的不同治疗结果。讨论了CFR的研究潜力及其与精神分裂症认知障碍的发展和心理生理学理论的相关性。
