<qa>  What is the aim of the research?The aim of this research is to investigate the neurolinguistic mechanisms underlying thought disorders among schizophrenic patients. In particular, it will investigate the neurolinguistic basis for loose association - a phenomena which this population is characterized by. Several researchers have previously suggested that loose associations among schizophrenic patients relate to a lack of inhibition in the automatic spread of activation mechanisms within semantic networks e.g., Soriano, Jimenez, Roman, Bajo, 2008. This research focuses on the relationship between I. the left-right hemisphere dynamic and II. semantic processing, among schizophrenic patients. The research follows Jung-Beemans 2005 model which relates semantic associations, activation and inhibition processes to the functioning of the two cerebral hemispheres.
