Answer to Question 1

A
Theorists have suggested that type II schizophrenia is the result of pathoanatomy, specifically increased ventricular brain ratios, brain atrophy, and decreased cerebral blood flow. The other alterations are not supported by research findings.

Answer to Question 2

A
Auditory hallucinations are the most commonly experienced perceptual alteration noted in schizophrenia. Illusions are less common. The other symptoms are not altered perceptions.
