The results suggest the need for more time when completing neuropsychological tasks involving selected and focused attention, as well as cognitive flexibility, as a possible indicator of genetic vulnerability to schizophrenia.

It is found that higher scores on the subscales of unusual experiences, cognitive disorganization, and impulsive non-conformity related to worse performance on a measure of inhibition, and as introvertive anhedonia increased, both attention and processing speed and reasoning and problem-solving performance became more impaired.

A meta-analytic review of verbal fluency deficits in schizophrenia relative to other neurocognitive deficits

It was concluded that, relative to their general level of intellectual functioning, schizophrenics are not disproportionately impaired on a measure of this construct, the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), but verbal fluency tests may be more valid measures of executive functioning as they are more sensitive to the presence of focal frontal lobe injuries.

The results suggest that executive deficits qualitatively similar to those seen in those with schizophrenia reflect familial susceptibility, even taking early IQ and education into consideration, consistent with a genetic mechanism.
Tests of executive functions in first-degree relatives of schizophrenic patients: a meta-analysis

Relatives of schizophrenic patients appear to have wide, although not severe, executive dysfunctions, and the sensitivity of the different tests for impairments in relatives is not the same, the choice of test and method should be carefully assessed.

The results provide evidence for subtle WCST performance deficits in subjects hypothesized to be at risk for psychosis--perhaps schizophrenia--and are broadly consistent with current speculation about dorsolateral prefrontal cortex functioning in schizophrenia as well as recent speculation concerning spatial working memory and schizophrenia.

Sustained attention deficit may be a genetic vulnerability marker for schizophrenia, and it may be more useful in linkage analysis than traditional phenotype definitions of schizophrenia.
