abstract="A critical link between schizotypy and schizophrenia is impoverished cognitive functioning. In the majority of studies, though: (1) cognition is examined with  standard neuropsychological tasks; and (2) high-schizotypal individuals are defined  according to criteria applied in the respective study sample. Taking these  considerations into account, the aims of the present study were to examine: (1)  differences between four pre-defined, according to normative criteria, schizotypal  (paranoid, negative, disorganized and cognitive-perceptual) and one control groups  in self-perceived cognitive lapses; and (2) associations between schizotypal  dimensions, self-perceived cognitive lapses and psychological well-being. Two  hundred and sixty-one participants were administered the Schizotypal Personality  Questionnaire, the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) and the Flourishing Scale,  which assesses psychological well-being. Negative schizotypals reported higher  scores in almost all CFQ measures compared with the control group (all p  values < 0.01) along with poorer psychological well-being compared with the control  and the cognitive-perceptual groups (both p values < 0.001). The disorganized group  had higher scores in distractibility, blunders and total CFQ scores compared with  the control group (all p values < 0.001). High psychological well-being was  significantly associated with low negative schizotypy and CFQ blunders along with  high cognitive-perceptual schizotypy (all p values < 0.05). To summarize, negative  schizotypy is associated with a profile of &quot;generalized&quot; self-perceived cognitive  lapses while disorganized schizotypy is characterized by self-perceived cognitive  slips that have previously been shown to be mediated by a fronto-parietal network. Although psychological well-being is negatively associated with social-context  specific cognitive failures and negative schizotypy, it is positively associated  with cognitive-perceptual schizotypy.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
