Although clinicians have patients interpret proverbs in mental status exams for psychosis, there are few empirical studies investigating the significance of proverb interpretation. In schizophrenia patients, we found abstraction positively correlated with overall intelligence but no symptom measures, concreteness negatively correlated with overall intelligence, executive functioning, attention, and memory, and bizarre-idiosyncratic responses associated with positive formal thought disorder but no cognitive functions.
尽管临床医生在精神病的精神状态检查中让患者解释谚语,但很少有实证研究调查谚语解释的意义。在精神分裂症患者中,我们发现抽象性与总体智力呈正相关,但与任何症状指标均无关联;具体性与总体智力、执行功能、注意力及记忆力呈负相关;怪异-特质性反应与阳性形式思维障碍有关,但与任何认知功能均无关联。
