The study investigated sentence memory of 15 young adult schizophrenics as compared to that of 15 nonschizophrenic patients and 15 normals. The schizophrenics' incidental recall was comparable to that of normals. (Author/SBH)

The structural features extracted for the schizophrenics, nonschizophrenic psychiatric patients, and normals were very similar to each other. A group difference was found in the subject's sorting strategy, but its effect on the main findings was judged to be minimal. (Author)

This research examines different types of encoding strategies, in addition to semantic and organizational encodings, and their effects on schizophrenics' remembering. Based on Craik and Lockhart (1972), i.e., memory performance is a function of depth of encoding processing, this analysis compares schizophrenics' encoding processing with that of…

The process of short-term memory scanning and recognition of common English words in 16 schizophrenics, 16 nonschizophrenic psychiatric patients, and 16 normals was investigated using the Sternberg item recognition procedure. This procedure has proved effective in isolating and clarifying the processes underlying mnemonic information processing.…

The question raised in this study was whether schizophrenics' recall deficit can be ameliorated if appropriate encoding behaviors are experimentally induced. (Editor)
