[Peculiar lexicon in hysteria].
A psycholinguistic association experiment was used to examine 19 hysterical patients with different functional-neurological motor disorders, such as unilateral or bilateral pseudopareses, pseudoataxia and 9 healthy individuals (a control group). The method included three tests: a free associative experiment and different types of the directed associative experiment (grammatically mediated or semantically mediated). According to these tests verbal activity was significantly decreased in the patients as compared with controls and patients with left-sided pseudoparesis as compared with the right-sided one. In addition, there were correlations of verbal activity with the degree of paresis (a positive correlation) and with the level of demonstrability of personality (a negative one).
