Flat affect refers to a lack of emotional expression or responsiveness, which is a negative symptom commonly seen in schizophrenia. Neologisms (making up new words), referential thinking (believing that random events or actions have special meaning just for them), and hallucinations (false sensory experiences) are positive symptoms, which are not typically associated with negative symptoms.
