An experimental group of seven nonparanoid schizophrenic adults was given eight weeks of sensory-stimulating treatment, while a control group of seven similar subjects was given eight weeks of sedentary activities. Three components of language, in response to 16 questions, were measured pre- and post-treatment: number of words used, speed of response, and relevance of response. Analysis of covariance showed that the post-test scores of the experimental group were better than the post-test scores of the experimental group in relevance of response at the .01 level. These results suggest that eight weeks of sensory-stimulating activities can improve the quality of nonparanoid schizophrenic language, but does not appear to have an effect on the quantity or rate of that language.
一个由7名非偏执型精神分裂症成年患者组成的实验组接受了为期8周的感官刺激治疗，而另一个由7名类似受试者组成的对照组则进行了为期8周的久坐活动。在治疗前后，针对16个问题对语言的三个组成部分进行了测量：用词数量、反应速度和反应相关性。协方差分析表明，实验组的测试后分数在反应相关性方面在.01水平上优于对照组的测试后分数。这些结果表明，为期8周的感官刺激活动可以提高非偏执型精神分裂症患者语言的质量，但似乎对该语言的数量或速度没有影响。
