Fig. 2: Auditory-related social cognition performances, relationships with TMT and neurocognition, and longitudinal stability of TMT.

a Bargraph (mean + /−SD) of performance on auditory emotion recognition (AER) and sarcasm detection tasks. Y-axis is calibrated to start from chance performance. b Scatter plot of total score for percentage correct on tone-matching task versus performance on auditory emotion recognition. Gray shaded area = IC 95%. c Principal Component Analysis biplot showing two clusters: MCCB domains T-scores (orange) and tone-matching task (TMT), auditory emotion recognition (AER) and sarcasm percent correct (green). The two principal components captured 63.6% of the data variability. PS processing speed, AV attention/vigilence, WM working memory, VerL verbal learning, VisL visual learning, RPS reasoning/problem solving. d Scatter plot illustrating % change in tone-matching task scores across time. Gray shaded area = IC 99%. ICC values were extremely high for SZ subjects who participated in 2- (n = 60, ICC = 0.95) or 3- (n = 31, ICC = 0.99) sessions, as well as for controls (2-session: n = 45, ICC = 0.90; 3-session: n = 20, ICC = 0.96). ***P < 0.0001
