Scatterplots relating clinical features to number of self-reported visual perceptual abnormalities (VPAs). (A,B) Using the Premorbid Adjustment Scale, we found that increased VPAs were related to earlier age of onset of psychotic symptoms and worse premorbid sociability, adaptability to school, childhood functioning, and early adolescent functioning. (C) Increased VPAs were associated with more severe positive and depressed Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale symptoms within 2 weeks of assessment. (D) Results from the SAPS demonstrate that increased VPAs were linked to increased hallucinations, delusions, and bizarre behavior within 2 weeks of assessment. All effects were derived from FDR-corrected simple linear regression analyses. Confidence bands show the 95% confidence intervals for the fitted regression lines.
