The performance of 15 participants with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (SCZ) on an inferential-reasoning task was compared with that of 15 healthy-control participants (HC). The SCZ group showed poorer inferential reasoning than HCs, independent of their negative or positive symptoms. These findings are consistent with previous research showing deficits of reasoning in schizophrenia, and indicate that this deficit is independent of severity of delusions.
15 名精神分裂症谱系障碍（SCZ）患者和 15 名健康对照（HC）参与者在推理任务上的表现进行了比较。结果显示，SCZ 组的推理能力明显不如 HC 组，且与他们的阴性或阳性症状无关。这些发现与之前的研究一致，表明精神分裂症患者存在推理缺陷，并且表明这种缺陷与妄想严重程度无关。
