title: Reduced negative priming in schizotypy: failure to replicate.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of negative priming and schizotypal personality using a Stroop-version of the paradigm.
  
  
  METHODS
  Negative priming was determined for 160 healthy participants. Schizotypal symptoms were assessed with several schizotypal scales.
  
  
  RESULTS
  No significant relationship emerged between any of the schizotypal scales and negative priming.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is inferred that negative priming is undisturbed in schizophrenia and schizotypy when unmasked negative priming tasks are employed. Reduced negative priming in previous studies may represent an epi-phenomenon of short prime presentation times and backward masking.
