Abstract
The mean electrical vestibular threshold of schizophrenics was significantly higher at 0.50 cps than that of normals. Individual electrical vestibulograms could be divided into three groups, those with peaks at 0.50, at 0.20, and at 0.50 and 2.0 cps, including 12, 4, and 2 patients, respectively. The first two patterns appear specifically schizophrenic.
