| Abstract: |
The article states that Loyola Language Study (LLS) is a modified form of the Kent-Rosanoff Association Test. It aims to bring the association test up-to-date for current usage. The problem in the present investigation was to ascertain whether the communality of the associations of hospitalized patients differed significantly from that of normals on the LLS. Specifically, schizophrenic responses would be expected to differ from normal in such a controlled test. The present investigation concentrates upon the fact of deviation from communality of response, and attempts to quantify these deviations. An essential prerequisite was to devise a satisfactory system of scoring communality of response without which small differences might be obscured. |
