Abstract

The investigators studied the experiential state of stimulus overinclusion (SOI) in 109 consecutive acutely hospitalized patients. This phenomenon has been cited in theoretical formulations of the schizophrenic defect. Schizophrenics did not experience significantly more SOI than other patients. Specific relationships to diagnosis, emotional states, and altered states of consciousness (particularly psychomimetics) were studied and etiological implications are discussed.
