Latent inhibition (LI) is the phenomenon in which subjects who have repeatedly experienced an irrelevant stimulus perform more poorly on a new learning task with that stimulus than with a novel stimulus, presumably because of a decline in stimulus-specific attention. The present article reviews the literature on LI deficits in high-schizotypal normal subjects and schizophrenic patients. Although LI-deficits have been thought to be specific to these groups, evidence is presented that the effects may be related to the anxiety components of high-schizotypality and related pathologies.
