Abstract
This study examined neurocognitive predictors of conversion to Axis I psychosis among adolescents at high-risk for psychosis (AHRP). There were no significant differences in neurocognitive performance between adolescents at high-risk for psychosis who converted (AHRP+) and adolescents at high-risk for psychosis who did not convert (AHRPâ). Within-sex comparisons revealed a relation between risk status and performance among females, with AHRP+ performing below AHRPâ, but this effect did not hold for males. Between-sex comparisons revealed AHRPâ males performed worse than AHRPâ females on several measures. Across groups, males performed better than their female counterparts on select measures. Results are discussed in terms of implications for use of neurocognitive profiles as bio-risk markers of psychosis, while considering sex differences.
