Abstract
Because of a certain amount of abreaction (scratching), patients with neurotic excoriations will obtain higher scores in tests of verbal learning and long-term memory than common neurotics but probably lower scores in such tests than a group of normal subjects. Visual long-term memory is relatively impaired both in patients with neurotic excoriations and in common neurotics compared to a normal group. Performance IQ for both patient groups mentioned will be relatively low compared to verbal IQ. The 1st and 2nd of these suppositions were confirmed but not the 3rd.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
