Abstract
Normal, neurotic, and psychotic Os were utilized in a recognition-threshold type of experimental situation. Tape records of the prerecognition hypotheses of the Os were made. The data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. A typical finding is that the number of hypotheses and recognition-thresholds both show an increase for the neurotic Os over the normals, whereas only the recognition-thresholds show an increase for the psychotic. The technique used suggests that it is feasible for the study of perceptual disorganization in psychopathological cases.Keywords
