“…(1964) failed to confirm this. Although the role of inconsistencies in sample definition cannot be discounted, the likely source of much of the inconsistency is the failure of the many measures of overinclusion to show appreciable correlations with one another consistently (e.g., Watson, 1967).…”

Two Epstein-type overinclusion tasks and two Password-type editing tasks were given to 80 schizophrenics and 20 normal controls. For each of the two types of test, one test was in a free-response format and one was in a choice format. Test format did not prove to be an important variable in accounting for group differences. Schizophrenics rated as severely disordered and delusional showed a nonspecific deficit on all four tests. Less disordered and nondelusional subjects performed in the normal range on both overinclusion tests but showed a deficit on both editing tasks. This suggests that although overinclusion is a correlate of degree of pathology, role-taking deficit is a correlate of the schizophrenia-nonschizophrenia dichotomy.

“…In contradiction to the view that it is only the relationship between speed and accuracy which is being assessed in the present situation is the unexpected positive correlation, though insignificant, found between the number of associative errors made on the card-sorting test and the measure of retardation. The failure to show that overinclusion and retardation were negatively related in the total group, while not inconsistent with previous evidence, may be due to the particular measures employed since different tests of overinclusion and retardation have been found to have only marginal correlations with one another (Hawks, 1964;Watson, 1967;Phillips et al 1965). Price (1970) has argued that 'overinclusion' has itself become an overinclusive concept having a number of different connotations and assessed by tests having low intercorrelations.…”

“…On the other hand, the technique of concept identification provides a method whereby the difficulty of the conceptual task in terms of the number of relevant and irrelevant attributes involved can be systematically varied. The fact that existing tests of overinclusive thinking have been found in some studies to be only tenuously related and inconsis-tently correlated with diagnosis (Hawks, 1964;Watson, 1967;Phillips et al, 1965) lends additional impetus to the search for an alternative technique of assessing overinclusive thinking.…”
