Auditory Perceptual Patterns of Process and Reactive Schizophrenics

Abstract
The auditory perceptual patterns of 25 process schizophrenics, 23 reactive schizophrenics, and a matched control group were evaluated through the use of The Sound Test, an auditory projective technique. The results indicated that the auditory perceptual style differentiated significantly and systematically between the process and reactive schizophrenics, and between the schizophrenics and the clinically normal groups. The results of The Sound Test were further discussed in terms of scanning, field articulation, and ideational gating mechanisms.
