Describe and provide examples of positive symptoms found in the speech of schizophrenic persons
What will be an ideal response?
There are three commonly found positive symptoms in speech: loose associations, thought blocking, and clang associations. Loose associations are thoughts that have little or no logical connection to the next thought. Thought blocking consists of unusually long pauses in the patient’s speech that occur during a conversation. In clang associations, speech is governed by words that sound alike rather than words that have meaning.
