The neurodevelopmental model of psychosis was established over 30 years ago; however, the developmental influence on psychotic symptom expression – how age affects clinical presentation in first-episode psychosis – has not been thoroughly investigated. Using generalized additive modeling, which allows for linear and non-linear functional forms of age-related change, we leveraged symptom data from a large sample of antipsychotic-naïve individuals with first episode psychosis (N=340, 12–40 years, 1–12 visits), collected at the University of Pittsburgh from 1990–2017. We examined relationships between age and severity of perceptual and non-perceptual positive symptoms and negative symptoms. We tested for age-associated effects on change in positive or negative symptom severity following baseline assessment, and explored the time-varying relationship between perceptual and non-perceptual positive symptoms across adolescent development. Perceptual positive symptom severity significantly decreased with increasing age (F=7.0, p=0.0007; q=0.003) while non-perceptual positive symptom severity increased with age (F=4.1, p=0.01, q=0.02). Anhedonia severity increased with increasing age (F=6.7, p=0.00035; q=0.0003), while flat affect decreased in severity with increased age (F=9.8, p=0.002; q=0.006). Findings remained significant when SES, IQ, and illness duration were included as covariates. There were no developmental effects on change in positive or negative symptom severity (all p>0.25). An association between severity of non-perceptual and perceptual symptoms developed with increasing age starting at age 18. These findings suggest that as cognitive maturation proceeds, perceptual symptoms attenuate while non-perceptual symptoms are enhanced, reflecting influences of developmental processes on psychosis expression. Findings underscore how pathological brain-behavior relationships vary as a function of development.
