A critical link between schizotypy and schizophrenia is impoverished cognitive functioning. In the majority of studies, though: (1) cognition is examined with standard neuropsychological tasks; and (2) high‐schizotypal individuals are defined according to criteria applied in the respective study sample. Taking these considerations into account, the aims of the present study were to examine: (1) differences between four pre‐defined, according to normative criteria, schizotypal (paranoid, negative, disorganized and cognitive‐perceptual) and one control groups in self‐perceived cognitive lapses; and (2) associations between schizotypal dimensions, self‐perceived cognitive lapses and psychological well‐being. Two hundred and sixty‐one participants were administered the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire, the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) and the Flourishing Scale, which assesses psychological well‐being.
