In contrast, the subjects with schizotypal personality disorder failed to show this pattern.

Background: Cognitive deficits consistently have been reported in schizophrenia patients and in patients with schizotypal personality disorder.

Results: Seven subjects with schizotypal personality disorder had deficits on each paradigm; seven had no deficits on any paradigm.

Method: Eighteen unmedicated patients with schizotypal personality disorder and 16 healthy individuals were assessed in an acoustic attention-to-prepulse paradigm.

Objective: Attentional deficits have been identified as an abnormality that individuals with schizotypal personality disorder share with schizophrenia patients.

Overall, schizotypal personality disorder patients performed significantly worse than the healthy volunteers and those with personality disorders unrelated to schizophrenia.

Relatives with schizophrenia have an increased risk not only for schizophrenia but also for schizophrenia spectrum disorders, such as schizotypal personality disorder.

Conclusions: Patients with schizotypal personality disorder demonstrated moderate cognitive impairment compared with healthy volunteers (significant for seven out of 11 measures).

Objective: The possible heterogeneity of the schizophrenia-related personality disorder traits associated with DSM-III criteria for schizotypal personality disorder was investigated using the family history method.

Background: Individuals with schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) share cognitive deficits with schizophrenic patients, suggesting that these deficits represent a core feature of the schizophrenia spectrum.

The kappa coefficient for the family history method was moderately good for the psychoses (0.598) and for paranoid and schizotypal personality disorder (0.576).

Schizotypal personality disorder can provide insight into vulnerability and protective factors in these disorders without the confounds associated with chronic psychosis.

Schizotypal personality disorder, a diagnosis defined partially in terms of a genetic relatedness to schizophrenia, has begun to receive extensive investigative study.
