Abstract

Duration judgement is a central tenet of cognitive life however, a large body of evidence suggests that time perception is impaired in schizophrenia and schizotypy. Conclusions about the similar aetiology of both, are constrained by empirical evidence, with no evidence about the performance of schiz...

For the first time, a Temporal Reproduction Task examined the impact of Schizotypy on both the Retrospective and Prospective paradigms for visual stimuli. The task involved subjects reproducing one of three durations (15s, 30s, or 45s) of a kitten video in either a retrospective or prospective paradigm in Experiment 1 and a video of the River Nene in Northampton, United Kingdom, in Experiment 2.
