Overview
The study aimes at the judgements of non-verbal stimuli by patients hospitalised on the Department of Psychiatry in Pilsen. As stimuli we used ten realistic drawings of human figure and ten short videosequences of interaction of two persons. In both cases the results of each of the group of patients (14 schizophrenics and 15 depressive patients) significantly differ from those of the control group (n=44).
Key words:
