DTD, draws-to-decision; GCSE, General Certificate of Secondary Education; PRS, polygenic risk score; SCZ, schizophrenia.

a

Average DTD and contrary updating are behavioral measures; all others are computational.

b

Bottom quintile of average parental income.

c

No GCSEs.

d

Bottom quintile.

e

Top quintile.

f

Bottom tertile vs. middle.

g

Top tertile vs. middle. Sample based on imputed estimates. p values based on analyses using continuous/ordinal measures of confounders where available rather than binary ones. Note that characteristics have been dichotomized for descriptive purposes only, with nondichotomized variables used in the analyses.
