Abstract

Psychologists have done very little research in the field of concept formation in psychotics. It is desirable that more such investigations be ma.de. It is particularly desirable that investigations be made with other types of concepts and that we investigate not only the differences between normals and psychotics but also investigate the possibility of using concept-formation tests for diagnostic purposes. The writer hopes to make a contribution in this direction.
