Abstract

Schizotypal personality traits have been associated with creativity and problem solving. Participants attempted puzzles while hearing sounds. While participants slept, we presented half of the unsolved puzzles’ sounds. In the morning, participants reattempted their unsolved puzzles. Higher schizotypy correlated with better morning solving, particularly for the cued puzzles.
