Twenty schizophrenic patients were ranked in terms of premorbid adjustment, auditory reaction time, and two measures of basal autonomic activity. Significant correlations were obtained between premorbid adjustment on the one hand and reaction time efficiency and palmar skin potential level on the other. The objective measurement of patient characteristics along dimensions of functioning as an approach to the description of psychopathology is discussed.
