Oltmanns and Neale (1975) have claimed that impairment in abstract conceptualization has not been demonstrated to represent a differential deficit in schizophrenia and that sorting-test measures of impairment exhibit inadequate discriminant validity. Contrary to Oltmanns and Neale's impression, evidence supporting impairment in abstract conceptualization as a differential deficit is found in the studies of Feldman and Drasgow (1951) and Drasgow and Feldman (1957). Furthermore, examination of the relevant evidence suggests that the discriminant validity of sorting-test indices of impairment is adequate and superior to that of proverbs-test measures
