title: An investigation of gender differences in semantic processing in individuals with high schizotypy.
abstract: Semantic processing deficits may underlie thought disorder in schizophrenia. Cognitive Disorganisation (CD) in schizotypy is a thought disorder analogue. This study established CD was related to abnormal strategic semantic processing on an indirect semantic priming task. There were no gender differences. It also confirms the importance of replicating underpowered studies.
