Abstract

This study tested the hypothesis that the schizophrenic's over-responsiveness to social censure accounts for the schizophrenic's impairment in learning in a generalization paradigm. The hypothesis was investigated in two studies eliminating stress, task complexity, and the effects of subject-examiner interactions. The results support the original hypothesis, but suggest that the effects are subtle and somewhat transitory. The data are difficult to explain in terms of Garmezy's later reformulation.
