An experiment reporting evidence of one type of learning impairment in schizophrenic and brain-damaged patients was replicated. Results supported the findings in the first experiment relating to these two diagnostic groups. A random sample of patients in the experiment was selected for additional testing. The correlations between performance in the experiment and intelligence test scores and also performance on a clinical test battery for diagnosing brain injury are reported.
