Children of mentally ill mothers (N = 21), believed to be at risk for the subsequent development of psychopathology (high-risk group) were compared with children of well mothers (N = 21)(low-risk group) on the Embedded Figures Test (EFT) and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT). Results indicated that children in the high-risk group perform less well than low-risk children on the EFT (particularly on the more difficult stimuli), but do not differ from low-risk children on the PPVT. These results are interpreted as showing greater impairment of attention among children of mentally ill mothers than among children of well mothers.
对患有精神疾病母亲的子女（N = 21）（被认为有后续精神病理学发展风险的高危组）与健康母亲的子女（N = 21）（低危组）进行了镶嵌图形测验（EFT）和皮博迪图片词汇测验（PPVT）。结果表明，高危组儿童在EFT上的表现不如低危组儿童（尤其是在难度较大的刺激项目上），但在PPVT上与低危组儿童没有差异。这些结果被解释为表明患有精神疾病母亲的子女比健康母亲的子女注意力受损更严重。
