“…Again, the first 50 words or less of each handwritten production were combined for use as the second set of data. These procedures were similar to those reported in other content analysis studies of verbal behavior of emotionally disturbed subjects (Maher, McKean, & McLaughlin, 1966;Oxman, Rosenberg, & Tucker, 1982;Rochester, 1980;Rosenberg & Tucker, 1979;Tucker & Rosenberg, 1975 …”

“…Using this dictionary, I attempted to specify the differences between computer-processed and handwritten language in a number of thematic areas, including concrete objects, the natural world, psychological states, behavioral processes, social institutions, interpersonal concerns, object-relations stance, ascribed role status, and expressive styles (Dunphy, Bullard, & Crossing, 1973;Rochester, 1980;Stone, Dunphy, Smith, & Ogilvie, 1966). Comparative measures were also made with regard to the degree of stress/anxiety, egocentricity, and idiosyncratic word usage.…”

“…Chaika also proposed that sentences were produced according to semantic features of previously uttered words rather than based on a topic, thereby producing lexical and syntactic errors. When compared to healthy individuals, these findings in a patient with schizophrenia were considered to be in an exaggerated form (14, 15). Another study by Hoffman and Sledge (16) found that the speech disturbances in patients with schizophrenia were “more grammatically deviant” and “less syntactical complex” compared to controls.…”

Psychiatrists rely on language and speech behavior as one of the main clues in psychiatric diagnosis. Descriptive psychopathology and phenomenology form the basis of a common language used by psychiatrists to describe abnormal mental states. This conventional technique of clinical observation informed early studies on disturbances of thought form, speech, and language observed in psychosis and schizophrenia. These findings resulted in language models that were used as tools in psychosis research that concerned itself with the links between formal thought disorder and language disturbances observed in schizophrenia. The end result was the development of clinical rating scales measuring severity of disturbances in speech, language, and thought form. However, these linguistic measures do not fully capture the richness of human discourse and are time-consuming and subjective when measured against psychometric rating scales. These linguistic measures have not considered the influence of culture on psychopathology. With recent advances in computational sciences, we have seen a re-emergence of novel research using computing methods to analyze free speech for improving prediction and diagnosis of psychosis. Current studies on automated speech analysis examining for semantic incoherence are carried out based on natural language processing and acoustic analysis, which, in some studies, have been combined with machine learning approaches for classification and prediction purposes.

“…These latter two methods confound any distinction between automatic and controlled processes that might be specifically associated with TD. On a more theoretical level, the relationship of semantic priming phenomena (or lexical access in general) to other aspects of language and "thought" and its expression appears to be complex and poorly characterized at this time (Rieber & Vetter, 1994;Rochester, 1980;Spitzer, 1997). As a result, it is presently unclear how semantic priming disturbances (should they be reliably demonstrated) may be related to TD as manifested clinically.…”

In this paper, we present a review of semantic priming experiments in schizophrenia. Semantic priming paradigms show utility in assessing the role of deficits in semantic memory network access in the pathology of schizophrenia. The studies are placed in the context of current models of information processing. In this review we include all English-language reports (from peer-reviewed journals) of single-word semantic priming studies involving participants with schizophrenia. The studies to date show schizophrenic patients to exhibit variable semantic priming effects under automatic processing conditions, and consistent impairments under controlled0attentional conditions. We also describe associations with other neurocognitive dysfunction, neurochemical and electrophysiological disturbances, and clinical manifestations (such as thought disorder).
