Key clinical point: Distractibility among schizophrenia patients during an analogical reasoning test was significantly higher, compared with healthy controls. However, the distractibility was not associated with a specific variable.

Major finding: The average distractibility of the patients was significantly higher, compared with controls (25% vs. 9% errors), across a four-term analogy task.

Study details: The data come from 30 adults with schizophrenia and 30 healthy controls.

Disclosures: The researchers had no financial conflicts to disclose.
