Semantic priming in normal controls and schizophrenic patients can be demonstrated in lexical decision tasks. Data from such a lexical decision task are analyzed with special respect to the question as to whether associative processes in schizophrenic patients are characterized by the occurrence of entirely new associations or by the intrusion of normal associations, i.e., associations which can be found in normal subjects. The analysis of the semantic priming effects of single word pairs demonstrates little qualitative differences between the associations of normals and of schizophrenic patients. This finding provides further support for Maher's hypothesis of activated normal associations in schizophrenic patients. From a methodological perspective, the item-by-item analysis of lexical decision task data can be used to optimize this method.
在正常对照组和精神分裂症患者中，语义启动效应可在词汇判断任务中得到证实。对于此类词汇判断任务的数据，会特别针对精神分裂症患者的联想过程是由全新联想的出现还是由正常联想（即在正常受试者中能找到的联想）的侵入所表征这一问题进行分析。对单个单词对的语义启动效应的分析表明，正常人和精神分裂症患者的联想之间几乎没有质的差异。这一发现为马赫关于精神分裂症患者中激活的正常联想的假说提供了进一步支持。从方法论的角度来看，对词汇判断任务数据进行逐项目分析可用于优化此方法。
