Further, individuals with impaired cognitive functioning may also struggle to adequately respond to various forms of rehabilitation that aim to improve self-care, social skills, and job skills. Evidence has shown a strong association between cognitive impairment and functioning in daily life, such as employment, interpersonal relationships, and independent living. Finally, this review delineates barriers for wider dissemination of CRT, such as the transfer of research findings into clinical everyday practice and future developments of CRT.Ĭognitive impairment is a core feature of schizophrenia. Another area of this review aims to summarize the modalities of intervention (paper and pencil computerized home bound), the persistence of improvements, and their generalization to other domains of functioning. The aim of the present review is to summarize CRT effects on addressing cognitive changes in patients undergoing CRT as defined by the Cognitive Remediation Experts Workshop and to describe the areas of greatest impact in specific cognitive domains. MEDLINE, PsychINFO, and Google Scholar were searched to extract peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials to produce the current review article. CRT was developed with the aim of improving the everyday functioning of individuals living with cognitive impairment. Results suggest that the performance after the intervening serial subtraction task evaluates dual information processing, complex attention, and working memory.Cognitive Remediation Training (CRT) in schizophrenia has made great strides since its introduction in the 1990s. Performance after the intervening serial subtraction task loaded on an auditory/visual working memory and complex attention factor and had common loadings with working memory subtests of the WAIS-III and the spatial span subtest of the WMS-III. Factor analysis yielded a two-factor solution. A neuropsychological battery was administered to younger participants (n=107, mean age=20.83) and older participants (n=93, mean age=70.14). The objective of this study was to determine what other tasks are comparable to the Brown-Peterson task and conduct an exploratory factor analysis that included the measures from the Brown-Peterson task and other neuropsychological measures. However, the specific cognitive functions contributing to the performance of this interference task have yet to be determined. The interference condition of the Brown-Peterson task and the auditory consonant trigrams test was designed to evaluate working memory in that it required a division of attentional processes to complete two cognitive tasks.
