Chaika (1982 a ) showed that theories like faulty pigeonholing do not explain speech dysfunction as speech is not produced on the basis of pigeonholing.…”

Buckingham 1982;Chaika 1982;Lecours 1982;Mancuso, Sarbin & Heerdt 1982), the evaluation of performance on tasks using individual words is a vital part of investigating this topic. Second, a reassessment of studies cited in the target article leads to a conclusion about such performance that is opposite to that put forth earlier: Specifically, the present conclusion is that semantic associational hierarchies are not intact among schizophrenic samples (cf.…”
