Abstract
Schizotypy has been consistently associated with an enhanced capacity for creative thinking, but the specificity of this cognitive advantage is, as yet, unclear. Different facets of creative cognition were assessed in the present study by contrasting groups based on the degree of extreme schizotypy personality scores. The high schizotypy group exhibited a selective advantage with better performance relative to a low schizotypy group in overcoming the constraining influence of examples when trying to generate original responses. The results are contrasted with previous findings on a related construct of psychoticism and are interpreted with reference to inhibitory control and other executive functions.
