在许多研究中，研究人员提出精神分裂症患者的语义异常。在这项研究中，作者讨论了这种异常是否可能反映了知识内容或信息结构或组织的差异。使用类别成员生产任务和典型性评级任务，作者评估了知识内容，发现患者和对照参与者对食物和动物类别的知识非常相似。在结构方面，他们的研究结果来自一个范畴判断的数学模型（实例化模型; E。海特公司W. Barsalou，1996）揭示了患者和对照参与者的相似类别结构。总之，作者认为，精神分裂症患者的类别的内容和组织与健康对照参与者相似。
In numerous; studies, researchers have suggested anomalies in semantics in patients with schizophrenia. In this study, the authors addressed whether one such anomaly might reflect a difference in knowledge content or in the structure or organization of this information. Using a category member production task and a typicality rating task, the authors assessed knowledge content and found that patients' and control participants' knowledge about categories of foods and animals was very similar. In terms of structure, their findings from a mathematical model of category judgment (the instantiation model; E. Heit & L. W. Barsalou, 1996) revealed a similar category structure in patients and control participants. In conclusion, the authors suggest that the content and organization of categories in patients with schizophrenia is similar to that in healthy control participants.
