A group of 31 chronic male shizopherics were found to be heterogeneous with respect to skin conductance recovery, when response was made to non‐signal tones. Fast skin conductance recovery was related to slow pupillary constriction in the light/dark reflex. Conversely, slow skin conductance recovery was related to fast pupillary constriction in the light/dark reflex. The cholinergic nature of pupillary constriction and the implications of these findings for a generalized cholinergic hypothesis of schizophrenia are discussed.
