Abstract:
The authors studied the influence of educational and verbal intelligence levels on a linguistic messages reconstitution test with schizophrenics. The two studies undertaken showed significantly lower sentence completion test scores for schizophrenics than for control subjects matched for verbal intelligence, educational level, age and sex.

This alteration is neither affected by educational level nor verbal intelligence level.
