Acute schizophrenics were compared with depressed, normal and brain-damaged subjects on their ability to appreciate a meaningful picture. Their responses were measured for level of abstraction (how well the theme was conveyed), for strategy (whether details were reported before or after a global interpretation) and for appropriateness of content. Schizophrenics were less abstract than normals, more abstract than brain-damaged subjects, but no different from depressives on this measure. Their strategy was different from normals but comparable with that of depressives. The majority of schizophrenics gave inappropriate responses. It is suggested that meaningful picture interpretation might be a useful tool for evaluating the distortion of meaning which characterizes schizophrenia.
将急性精神分裂症患者与抑郁症患者、正常人和脑损伤患者在理解有意义图片的能力方面进行了比较。对他们的反应在抽象水平（主题传达的程度）、策略（是在整体解释之前还是之后报告细节）和内容的适当性方面进行了测量。精神分裂症患者在抽象水平上低于正常人，高于脑损伤患者，但在这一指标上与抑郁症患者没有差异。他们的策略与正常人不同，但与抑郁症患者相当。大多数精神分裂症患者给出了不恰当的反应。有人认为，有意义图片解释可能是评估精神分裂症所特有的意义扭曲的有用工具。
