Abstract

This article examines the relationship between delusional thinking and processing speed in a nonclinical adult community sample. Using the Peters et al. Delusions Inventory to assess delusional thinking and age-adjusted scores from the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) Trail Making Test (TMT) and Color-Word Inhibition Test (C-WIT) to measure processing speed and inhibition, the study found that greater delusional thinking predicted poorer performance on TMT tasks involving psychomotor processing speed but not on visual processing speed or inhibition tasks. These findings suggest that psychomotor processing speed may be particularly relevant when assessing individuals with delusional symptoms outside clinical populations. Further research with more variability in delusional thinking is recommended to clarify these relationships.
