Description
Thinking problems show up before psychosis begins, but two kinds of at-risk people may not share the same profile. Ronghong Gao and co-authors pooled fourteen studies in 2025 that tested both groups head to head: people with warning symptoms, and people whose only risk is family history. Together the studies covered nearly two thousand participants across standard thinking domains.
The symptom group lagged the family group clearly in processing speed and in learning word lists, both right away and after a delay. Attention, working memory, executive function, and visual learning showed no solid differences. The authors nominate processing speed and list learning as practical markers for sorting and watching risk.
