实验性精神病儿童，9 名男孩和 3 名女孩（平均年龄 = 66.9 个月）与 5 名非精神病性异常男孩（平均年龄 = 72 个月）在身体模仿、运动物体模仿和自发物体使用方面进行比较，并使用每个受试者的适应年龄作为参考，比较任务类别和难度的影响。精神病儿童在身体方面表现较差，在运动物体模仿方面表现较好，在物体使用方面表现最好。控制组获得了更高的身体和运动物体模仿分数。任务难度同样影响受试者和对照组的表现。神经生理学缺陷导致的身体模仿失败，加上精神病组严重的中枢语言障碍，阻碍了非语言和语言的人际交流。有人建议，在生命早期，精神病儿童与视觉运动或语言处理障碍较轻的亚正常儿童不同，不能利用父母的帮助来解释环境。
Experimental psychotic children, 9 boys and 3 girls (mean age=66.9 mos.) were compared with 5 non-psychotic subnormal boys (mean age=72 mos.) in body imitation, motor-object imitation and spontaneous object use and also for influence of task class and difficulty using each subject's adaptive age as referant. Psychotic children did poorly in body, better in motor-object imitation and best in object use. Controls achieved higher body and motor-object imitation scores. Task difficulty equally affected the performances of subjects and controls. Body imitation failure, traced to neurophysiological deficiencies, combined with severe central language disorders in the psychotic group, precluded non-verbal and verbal interpersonal communication. It is suggested that during early life, psychotic children, unlike the subnormal who have less severe visual-motor or language processing handicaps, cannot use parents' help to interpret environment.
