Partial correlation amongst reading, cognition and functional capacity/outcome in the SZ group. AER: Auditory Emotion Recognition; CTOPP-APA: Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing II – Alternate Phonological Awareness; MCCB: MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery; WJ: Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement; SLOF: Specific Level of Functioning; UCSD: Performance-based Skills Assessment. rp = partial correlation r.
