    Psychotic children show pantomime deficits, with performance improving slightly when a model is provided. These nonverbal communication challenges correlate with other symbolic functions, offering insights into developmental disorders.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Child Psychiatry
    • Cognitive Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Previous research indicates verbal deficits in psychotic children may extend to nonverbal pantomime.
    • Systematic examination of pantomime levels, modifiability, and relation to other symbolic functions in psychotic children is lacking.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate pantomime abilities in psychotic children.
    • To assess the impact of instructional methods (verbal vs. model-guided) on pantomime performance.
    • To explore the relationship between pantomime and other symbolic functions.

    Main Methods:

    • Twenty-four psychotic children were tasked with pantomiming absent objects using verbal or model-accompanied instructions.
    • Measures included receptive and expressive speech, human figure drawings, and pretend play assessments.

    Main Results:

    • Complete pantomime failures were rare, but performance was better with a model.
    • Even with models, many responses involved low-level body-part substitutions.
    • Significant correlations were found between pantomime and receptive vocabulary, echolalia, drawing, and play.

    Conclusions:

    • Pantomime deficits in psychotic children are evident and linked to other symbolic functions.
    • Findings contribute to understanding symbolic functioning in typical development and in psychotic disorders.
