Abstract

Across a transdiagnostic psychiatric sample (n = 128), weaker visual working memory (WM) related to a greater P2a event-related potential amplitude to rare visual targets. In participants with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (n = 24), weaker visual WM related to stronger N2 and P3 amplitudes. No relationships were found with verbal WM.
