Extract

Recent workers investigating psychological dysfunction in schizophrenic patients have stressed the fact that such patients appear to have some specific difficulty in speech perception. It has been claimed that schizophrenics require more cues in order to reproduce verbal material accurately. This disability has been analysed by methods inspired by the work of communication engineers.
