Acute schizophrenics were found to be EDA hyper‐responders, while chronics were hypo‐responders. Within groups, acutes with positive symptoms tend to overrespond and chronics with negative symptoms to underrespond. Bimodality is thus most likely to arise when a sample containing both subtypes is tested.
