SOUND FILM ANALYSIS OF NORMAL AND PATHOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR PATTERNS

Abstract
Some of the regularities of change observable within normal behavior and communication by utilizing sound film are presented. Normal behavior displays a consistent harmony between speech and body motion which suggests a highly integrated organism. Somewhat differing and dyssynchronous patterns of regularity, observed in the behavior of 1 schizophrenic patient, were presented by way of contrast. The use of sound film and high-speed cameras in conjunction with the appropriate analyzing methods and instrumentation provides an observational microscope for the study of the regularities pervading behavior, both normal and pathological.
