Schizophrenics' size estimations of thematic stimuli.

Relationships between premorbid adjustment, schizophrenia subtype, stimulus content, and size judgments of thematic stimuli were found to be substantially dependent on the seqeunces in which stimuli were presented. Individual differences in schizophrenics' size estimations were not simply related to premorbid adjustment, schizophrenic subtype, or to two common measures of chronicity—length of illness and length of hospitalization—while proportion of time hospitalized since first admission, interacting with schizophrenia subtype, was correlated with size judgments.
