Two experiments are described in which the performance of schizophrenic subjects was investigated, using tests of affect judgement and recognition memory for faces (Warrington), words, and semi-abstract patterns. Schizophrenic subjects were impaired in their ability to describe the emotional states portrayed by actors and presented on video and were more likely to comment on the physical description of the actor or to fail to comment on the emotion at all. Performance on the Warrington Recognition Memory Test for faces suggests a marked impairment in schizophrenia, although impaired performance on recognition memory tests for words and patterns indicates that this abnormality may not be specific for faces.
本文描述了两项实验，其中使用了情感判断测试以及针对面部（沃林顿测试）、单词和半抽象图案的识别记忆测试，对精神分裂症患者的表现进行了研究。精神分裂症患者在描述演员所表现出并通过视频呈现的情绪状态时能力受损，他们更有可能对演员的外貌描述进行评论，或者根本不对情绪进行评论。面部的沃林顿识别记忆测试结果表明，精神分裂症患者存在明显的损伤，尽管单词和图案识别记忆测试的受损表现表明这种异常可能并非面部所特有。
