Abstract

In this poster we present some results of studies included in the first author’s Dissertations Thesis, which focus on language in patients with schizophrenia. In three studies we focused on the disturbances in the speech, language and thinking among Czech people with this psychiatric illness. We compare qualitatively and quantitatively the scores in three diagnostic tests: Word association test (WAT), Verbal fluency test (VF) and Vocabulary (from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) with nonclinical sample. We found a specific way of associating, clustering and switching in verbal fluency and verbal description ability of words which is different from people not suffering from schizophrenia. The results are in accordance with the previous studies of other languages. The main goal of this poster is to summarize the results of these separate studies and to provide the general conclusion.

Abstract (in Czech)

V tomto posteru prezentujeme některé výsledky studií zařazených do dizertační práce první autorky, která se zabývá jazykem u pacientů se schizofrenií. Ve třech studiích se zaměřujeme na odchylky v řeči, jazyce a myšlení mezi Čechy s psychiatrických onemocněním. Kvalitativně a kvantitativně porovnáváme s neklinickou populací jejich výsledky ve třech diagnostických metodách: Test slovních asociací, Verbální fluence a Slovník (z WAIS-III). Zjistili jsme specifický způsob asociování, clusterování a switchování a schopnosti slovní deskripce, které jsou odlišné od lidí bez schizofrenního onemocnění. Výsledky jsou v souladu s předešlými studiemi v jiných jazycích. Hlavním cílem posteru je sumarizovat výsledku a přednést společný závěr.
