Three electrodermally distinct subgroups of chronic schizophrenics were identified by Patterson and Venables (1978). The present study investigated the auditory vigilance ability of these subgroups relative to a normal population. In one subgroup of schizophrenics (the fast habituators) no evidence could be found for a deficit in auditory vigilance ability relative to normal. Implications for further electrophysiological and biochemical research in schizophrenia are discussed.
帕特森和维纳布尔斯（1978年）识别出了慢性精神分裂症患者的三个在皮肤电反应上有明显差异的亚组。本研究调查了这些亚组相对于正常人群的听觉警觉能力。在精神分裂症患者的一个亚组（快速习惯化者）中，相对于正常人，未发现听觉警觉能力存在缺陷的证据。文中还讨论了对精神分裂症进一步进行电生理和生化研究的意义。
