Harvard did a study on LLI (Low latent inhibition. It means that you don’t block as much stimulus and can mean having a lot more ideas to sort through) and discovered that people with high LLI and high IQs tend to be more creative whereas people with low IQs and high LLI are more likely to be schizophrenic. This may be because people with higher IQs are able to evaluate a larger number of ideas whereas those with lower IQs may find themselves overwhelmed trying to do so.
This suggests that schizophrenic people could benefit from assistance with processing their ideas. It also suggests that teaching reasoning skills all by itself might not be enough for many of them. If a key part of the problem turns out to be that they’re generating more weird ideas than they can process, it may be more useful to have someone to talk it over with.
Then again, if Bayes is faster than whatever technique they’re using, it could theoretically bring a lot of them over that “sanity waterline” threshold if it makes them able to judge ideas faster than they generate them.
