Answer to Question 1

Answer: Positive symptoms represent additions to normal behaviors. Hallucinations are perceptions that occur in the absence of a sensory stimulus. Delusions are incorrect beliefs that are resistant to change. Negative symptoms are represented by behaviors that are missing, such as poverty of speech or flattened emotional response.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
