title: [Neuropsychological functioning in hebephrenic patients. Comparison between visual and auditory stimuli initially projected either in one or in both cerebral hemispheres].
abstract: The performances of 14 hebephrenic patients and 14 normal subjects were studied through visual and auditory tests concerning the comparison of the number of stimuli projected either in the left, or in the right, or in both cerebral hemispheres. Schizophrenic patients were less efficient than normal subjects and, in both populations, no difference in the performances with regard to the locus of projection was observed. This suggests that information processing in schizophrenia might be deficient not only at the level of interhemispheric connections, but also in intrahemispheric functioning.
