Perceptual aberrations, schizotypy, and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test.
This study examined performance on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) by 23 schizotypic subjects and 28 normal control subjects. Schizotypy was measured on the Perceptual Aberration Scale (PAS). Overall, schizotypic (high PAS) subjects performed more poorly than control (low PAS) subjects on the WCST; specifically, schizotypic subjects showed deficits on the failure-to-maintain-set and numb...
متن کاملTheory of Mind and psychometric schizotypy.
The extent to which Theory of Mind impairments are a trait associated with schizotypy is unclear. To date, findings have been mixed. We compared two groups of psychometrically identified schizotypes, namely, those characterized by positive schizotypy (perceptual aberrations and magical ideation; n=36) and those characterized by negative schizotypy (social anhedonia; n=30) to a low schizotypy co...
متن کاملPerceptual biases and positive schizotypy: The role of perceptual load
The study investigated the effects of perceptual load on the bias to report seeing non-existing events—a bias associated with positive symptoms of schizophrenia and positive schizotypal symptoms. Undergraduate students completed psychometric measures of schizotypy and were asked to detect fast moving words among non-words under different levels of perceptual load. Perceptual load was manipulate...
متن کاملPerceptual aberration and schizotypy: a cautionary note.
This study assessed 51 college students for associations between Continuous Performance Test performance and schizotypy scale scores. Results suggest that perceptual aberration scores, while generally correlated with overall schizotypy scores, may not be adequate as a single-criterion measure of schizotypy.
متن کاملVerbal fluency in schizotypy Less words, more words: psychometric schizotypy and verbal fluency
Positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia have been differentially associated with irregularities in verbal production, suggesting the involvement of different underlying mechanisms in psychotic symptomatology. In view of that, the present investigation examined whether the amount of verbal production would be also differentially associated with negative and positive symptoms of psychomet...
