    Citation Excerpt :

    The protocol is short (the application time lasts around 5 to 10 min) and efficient, tested in clinical settings. As the analysis is not based on linguistics corpora, neither relies on the semantic content, it is from the definition invariant to language (Corcoran, 2021). It reveals naturalistic aspects linked directly with negative symptoms in the early stages of psychosis, also with protective factors such as education.
