Two flash and two click thresholds were measured in a group of chronic schizophrenic patients. The relation between these thresholds and a measure of withdrawal indicated that in non‐paranoid patients the more withdrawn the patient the more he gave evidence of cortical arousal; on the other hand in paranoid patients the relation was in the reverse direction.
