Schizophrenia and posterior aphasia are easily cross-diagnosed, primarily because of similarities in verbal output, i.e., vagueness, looseness of association, and apparent confusion. Tape-recorded interviews with 8 posterior aphasics and 10 "loose" schizophrenics were transcribed and analyzed to provide guidelines for the clinician to differentiate the two conditions by monitoring verbal expression. Six major differentiating characteristics were identified. The authors present hypotheses that emphasize differing neuroanatomical loci and neuropsychological mechanisms to explain the differences in verbal output in schizophrenia and posterior aphasia.
精神分裂症和后部失语症很容易被交叉诊断，主要是因为言语输出方面存在相似性，即含糊不清、联想松散以及明显的混乱。对8名后部失语症患者和10名“言语松散型”精神分裂症患者的访谈录音进行了转录和分析，以便为临床医生通过监测言语表达来区分这两种病症提供指导方针。确定了六个主要的鉴别特征。作者提出了一些假说，强调不同的神经解剖学部位和神经心理学机制，以解释精神分裂症和后部失语症在言语输出方面的差异。
