Methods and subjects: To carry out this study, a series of experiments were conducted using the graphic test for drawing a cube at various distances from an object. After that, the coefficient of perspective expansion was calculated. Patients from the regional psychiatric hospital with the prevailing diagnosis of schizophrenia were the subjects of the research.
