We tested the hypothesis that the level of reduced laterality in language is correlated with the degrees of schizotypal personality in healthy individuals and with their performance in the remote-associate task (RAT). A total of 53 healthy participants completed a schizotypal personality measure of the Oxford-Liverpool Inventory of Feelings and Experiences (O-LIFE; a questionnaire measuring the level of psychotic proneness), a consonant–vowel–consonant (CVC; requiring the identification of letter trigrams presented tachistoscopically in the left/right visual fields or both), measuring reduced language laterality and a remote-associate task (RAT; requiring to report a word, weakly associated with three cue words). Analysis revealed correlations between CVC and O-LIFE, as well as between CVC and RAT performance. The results suggest that reduced language lateralisation (reduced hemispheric integration) may play a role in schizophrenic language disorganization, as reflected in highly schizotypal individuals, and that hemispheric integration plays a role in the remote-associate task.
