摘要: The existence of small numbers schizophrenia patients with superior ability in specific cognitive domains is implied by meta-analytic evidence as well occasional empirical reports. authors identified 25 (i.e., > or =90th percentile) on the Vocabulary subtest Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale 3rd edition (Wechsler, 1997). These cognitively advantaged were compared 22 healthy participants performing at level and 126 50 scoring below range. Verbally verbally had similar profiles life skills performance, but diverged markedly terms independent "real-world" functioning. significantly outperformed more typical other aspects skills, support requirements. However, severity positive negative symptoms was equivalent patient groups. Detailed biobehavioral study exceptional may offer new insights into mechanisms mediating psychotic disorders.
