The spiral aftereffect technique (SAT) can differentiate between depressive and somatoform disorder patients
(2014) In Perceptual and Motor Skills 118(2). p.522-532- Abstract
- This study examined how differences in visuo-perceptual patterns
are related to psychopathology. Fifty-six patients (37 women, 19 men; M age = 43.8 yr., SD = 13.4) with a main diagnosis of unipolar depression and 42 patients (22 women, 20 men; M age = 42.0 yr., SD = 11.1) with a main diagnosis of somatoform disorder were compared. The duration and trend of a visual motion aftereffect were measured
with the Spiral Aftereffect Technique (SAT). The results indicated that successively increasing aftereffect durations characterized the depressive patients, whereas patterns of very short or short final aftereffect preceded by successively decreasing aftereffect durations characterized the patients with a somatoform disorder....

characteristics with some mental disorders. (Less)
