Abstract

Background: Implicit mental rotation has been studied in patients with Schizophrenia; however, no research has examined it in relatives of the patients. Objectives: This study compared the performances of Schizophrenia patients with their unaffected relatives to shed further light on the nature of cognitive functioning in Schizophrenia relatives. Methods: We examined mental rotation in 25 Schizophrenia patients, 25 of their First-Degree Relatives and 25 controls, using the Hand Rotation Task. In this task, the participants had to determine the laterality of hands showed in various orientations. Results: The results of this study revealed that the mean error rate of the relatives was significantly different between patients and healthy controls (all P < 0. 03), ii), the mean response times of both patients and relatives were significantly slower than controls (all P < 0. 004). Conclusions: These findings suggest that mental rotation may be a Trait marker for Schizophrenia.
