Correlations between verbal fluency response semantic similarity, speech disorganization, and social functioning

CDI Score GF: Social Score
Group n Correlation Group n Correlation
VFT cluster-related All 39 −0.54*** All 40 0.43**
semantic similarity HC 20 −0.45* HC 20 0.04
EP 19 −0.25 EP 20 0.36
VFT switch-related All 39 −0.46** All 40 0.28
semantic similarity HC 20 −0.61** HC 20 0.01
EP 19 −0.16 EP 20 0.38

Correlations are Spearman’s rho. HC = healthy control group; EP = early-stage psychosis group; VFT = verbal fluency test; GF-Social = Global Functioning: Social scale; CDI = Communication Disturbances Index.
