| Abstract: | After 13 additional years of institutionalization, 31 schizophrenic men and 36 schizophrenic women were retested with the Wechsler Bellevue vocabulary test, Form I. No Significant decline was found in vocabulary performance. The findings did not support the hypothesis that prolonged institutionalization induces intellectual deterioration.
