Disruptions in Task Performance in Schizotypy

Shifts in interruptions in performance of a task is called intermittent degradation (Roche, Silverstein, and Lenzenweger, 2015). This aspect is very often been seen in performance data of schizophrenia patients. In schizotypy, it was investigated if there is a relationship with intermittent degradation (ID). It was found that their was a positively association among schizotypy, as measured with several common questionnaires and times of ID. Odd speech, and odd eccentric behavior factors were related to this. Other measures, such as mood, depression and state an trait anxiety were to be found unrelated to ID (Roche et al., 2015).
