TL;DR
Evidence is added that a widening lag in cognitive development was specific to schizophrenia – finding little or no evidence of IQ subtest or neuropsychological change from age 13 to 38 among controls, cohort members with depression, those who showed mild cognitive impairment as children, or individuals matched on childhood risk factors for schizophrenia.

Archives of General PsychiatryImplications of Normal Brain Development for the Pathogenesis of Schizophrenia
3,716 Citations1987Daniel R. Weinberger
The findings suggest that nonspecific histopathology exists in the limbic system, diencephalon, and prefrontal cortex, that the pathology occurs early in development, and that the causative process is inactive long before the diagnosis is made.

NatureCity living and urban upbringing affect neural social stress processing in humans
1,594 Citations2011Florian Lederbogen, Peter Kirsch +9 more
It is shown that urban upbringing and city living have dissociable impacts on social evaluative stress processing in humans, and distinct neural mechanisms for an established environmental risk factor are identified.
Acta PsychologicaAge differences in fluid and crystallized intelligence
1,340 Citations1967John L. Horn, Raymond B. Cattell
Support is provided for the theory of fluid and crystallized intelligence in intellectual functioning associated with aging in adulthood by combining scores on several tests found to define these factors in previous research.
Molecular PsychiatryThe neurodevelopmental model of schizophrenia: update 2005
993 Citations2005Judith L. Rapoport, Anjené Addington +2 more
Increased specificity for the most relevant environmental risk factors such as exposure to prenatal infection, and their interaction with susceptibility genes and/or action through phase-specific altered gene expression now both strengthen and modify the neurodevelopmental theory of schizophrenia.
Archives of General PsychiatryEvidence for Early-Childhood, Pan-Developmental Impairment Specific to Schizophreniform Disorder
769 Citations2002Mary Cannon, Avshalom Caspi +5 more
Evidence is provided for an early-childhood, persistent, pan-developmental impairment that is specifically associated with schizophreniform disorder and that predicts psychotic symptoms in childhood and adulthood.
Biological PsychologyRelationships among processing speed, working memory, and fluid intelligence in children
604 Citations2000Astrid F. Fry, Sandra Hale
It is concluded from the review of the literature that the development of processing speed, working memory, and fluid intelligence, all follow a similar time course, suggesting that all three abilities develop in concert.
Schizophrenia ResearchThe global cognitive impairment in schizophrenia: Consistent over decades and around the world
579 Citations2013Jonathan D. Schaefer, Evan J. Giangrande +2 more
Findings from 1980 to 2006 of a substantial, generalized cognitive impairment in schizophrenia are extended, demonstrating that this finding has remained robust over time despite changes in assessment instruments and alterations in diagnostic criteria, and that it manifests similarly in different regions of the world despite linguistic and cultural differences.
American Journal of PsychiatryPremorbid IQ in Schizophrenia: A Meta-Analytic Review
558 Citations2008Kristen A. Woodberry, Anthony J. Giuliano +1 more
Overall, schizophrenia samples demonstrated a reliable, medium-sized impairment in premorbid IQ, and all studies with pre- and post-onset testing within the same sample suggested that a significant decline in the IQ of individuals with schizophrenia, relative to comparison subjects, was associated with the onset of frank psychosis.
American Journal of PsychiatryStatic and Dynamic Cognitive Deficits in Childhood Preceding Adult Schizophrenia: A 30-Year Study
548 Citations2010Abraham Reichenberg, Avshalom Caspi +6 more
The findings suggest that the origins of schizophrenia include two interrelated developmental processes evident from childhood to early adolescence (ages 7-13 years).
Developmental PsychologyNativism versus neuroconstructivism: Rethinking the study of developmental disorders.
417 Citations2009Annette Karmiloff‐Smith
This article argues that one dominant position in psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, and philosophy about how genetic disorders point to the innate specification of dissociated modules in the human brain should be replaced by a dynamic, neuroconstructivist approach in which genes, brain, cognition, and environment interact multidirectionally.
American Journal of PsychiatryNeuropsychological Decline in Schizophrenia From the Premorbid to the Postonset Period: Evidence From a Population-Representative Longitudinal Study
236 Citations2013Madeline H. Meier, Avshalom Caspi +7 more
There is substantial neuropsychological decline in schizophrenia from the premorbid to the postonset period, but the extent and developmental progression of decline varies across mental functions, suggesting that different pathophysiological mechanisms may underlie deficits in different mental functions.
Psychological MedicineMeta-analyses of cognitive and motor function in youth aged 16 years and younger who subsequently develop schizophrenia
214 Citations2011Hannah Dickson, Kristin R. Laurens +2 more
Results demonstrate that deficits in IQ and motor performance precede the prodrome and the onset of illness, and constitute robust antecedents of schizophrenia.
The British Journal of PsychiatryHeterogeneity of Schizophrenia
201 Citations1990Ming T. Tsuang, Michael J. Lyons +1 more
Five heterogeneity models and a number of quantitative approaches are described to apply rigorous methods of study to the comparison of unitary models and competing heterogeneity models of schizophrenia.
Archives of General PsychiatryElaboration on Premorbid Intellectual Performance in Schizophrenia
171 Citations2005Abraham Reichenberg, Mark Weiser +9 more
Indirect evidence suggests that intellectual deterioration from childhood through adolescence is associated with increased risk for schizophrenia.
Journal of the International Neuropsychological SocietyUse of oral reading to estimate premorbid intellectual and neuropsychological functioning
91 Citations1999Julie Akiko Gladsjo, Robert K. Heaton +3 more
The present study explored the degree to which oral reading scores on the American National Adult Reading Test (ANART) could more accurately predict a person's test performance relative to other demographically similar individuals.
Schizophrenia ResearchSex differences in self-reported schizotypal traits in relatives of schizophrenic probands1Portions of this article were presented at the 6th annual meeting of the International Congress on Schizophrenia Research, Colorado Springs, CO, 12–16 April 1997.1
81 Citations1998William S. Kremen, Stephen V. Faraone +3 more
Evaluated schizotypal traits appear to be more prominent in male than in female relatives of schizophrenic probands, at least when assessed by self-report, and Interviews and other non-self-report techniques are probably best suited for an assessment of these features.
Journal of Abnormal PsychologyUsing latent class growth analysis to form trajectories of premorbid adjustment in schizophrenia.
50 Citations2012Veronica T. Cole, José Apud +2 more
In an effort to explore discrete developmental subtypes, latent class growth analysis is applied to data from the Premorbid Adjustment Scale in a sample of individuals with schizophrenia, finding three latent trajectory classes that differed significantly in terms of age of onset, processing speed, and functioning after onset.
