Hospitalized schizophrenic (N = 15) and nonschizophrenic (N = 18) youngsters were compared on measures of verbal and imagery development as well as on four paired-associate learning tasks involving combinations of word and picture stimuli pairs. The results showed the schizophrenic group to be similar to the controls on verbal and full-scale intelligence measures but significantly inferior on performance measures. The schizophrenic group also showed a general disadvantage in paired-associate learning, with a trend toward specific differential difficulty with words as stimulus items. Results suggest the presence of nondominant hemisphere deficit in the target group and also provide weak support for theories of dominant hemisphere dysfunction in schizophrenia.
对住院的精神分裂症青少年（N = 15）和非精神分裂症青少年（N = 18）在言语和意象发展指标以及四项涉及单词和图片刺激对组合的配对联想学习任务上进行了比较。结果显示，精神分裂症组在言语和全量表智力测量方面与对照组相似，但在操作测量方面明显较差。精神分裂症组在配对联想学习中也普遍处于劣势，以单词作为刺激项目时存在特定差异困难的趋势。结果表明目标组存在非优势半球缺陷，也为精神分裂症中优势半球功能障碍理论提供了微弱支持。
