Validity of the Test of Visual Perceptual Skills-Fourth Edition in People With Schizophrenia

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The TVPS-4 has sufficient ecological validity, good convergent validity, and acceptable discriminative validity in assessing people with schizophrenia. The Spatial Relationships subscale, which displays a strong correlation with the ADLRS-III, can reveal the status of daily living in people with schizophrenia. Two subscales showing inadequate discriminative validity should be used cautiously to discriminate people with different severities of schizophrenia. What This Article Adds: The TVPS-4 showed three sound validities (ecological, convergent, and discriminative) for assessing visual perception in people with schizophrenia.PMID:37831809 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2023.050158
