In recent studies it has been inferred from performance on perceptual tasks, that paranoid schizophrenics showed extensive scanning and nonparanoid schizophrenics showed minimal scanning. Eye movements during free-search and size-judgment tasks were recorded for paranoid and nonparanoid schizophrenics, psychotic depressives, and control 5s. Medicated patients showed lower eyemovement rate and fixation rate than nonmedicated patients and controls but there were no significant differences due to schizophrenia. There was a significant interaction between patient type and medication for size-judgment means, but all such differences were reduced to nonsignfiicance by training. However, even after training, patients showed greater variability in size judgments than control Ss. The results failed to support the notion of extensive or minimal scanning behavior of schizophrenics. Errors by the psychotic patients in making size adjustments were not correlated with scanning behavior.
