The effect of increasing verbal context on recall was tested in three groups of patients—a group of acute, first admission schizophrenics, a group of severely depressed patients, and a non-psychotic control group. The groups were matched for age and score on the Mill Hill vocabulary test, and no patient receiving drugs was included in the experiment.

The results confirmed previous findings suggesting that schizophrenics show impairment in the ability to make use of contextual cues. However, the impairment did not appear to be specific as it was found equally in the depressive group.
