In 2 experiments, the authors investigated perceptual organization in schizophrenia to determine whether patients with schizophrenia used the Gestalt principles. In the visual embedded figures task (Experiment 1), the authors examined the principles of proximity and collinearity, whereas in the similarity task (Experiment 2), the authors examined similarity. Forty-three people participated in the study: patients diagnosed with schizophrenia (14) or with bipolar disorder (15), and "normal" participants (14). All 3 groups of participants showed performance superiority in the condition that was facilitated by the use of the Gestalt principles in both tasks. This study supports the hypothesis that visual perceptual organization, in terms of utilizing the Gestalt principles, is relatively intact in people with schizophrenia.
在两项实验中，作者研究了精神分裂症患者的知觉组织，以确定精神分裂症患者是否运用格式塔原则。在视觉嵌入图形任务（实验1）中，作者考察了接近性和共线性原则，而在相似性任务（实验2）中，作者考察了相似性。43人参与了该研究：被诊断为精神分裂症的患者（14人）或双相情感障碍患者（15人），以及“正常”参与者（14人）。在两项任务中，所有三组参与者在使用格式塔原则所促进的条件下都表现出了表现优势。这项研究支持了这样一种假设，即就运用格式塔原则而言，精神分裂症患者的视觉知觉组织相对完整。
