Cognitive remediation is a behavioral intervention designed to improve cognition in people who have suffered decline neuropsychological functioning. The application of cognitive for with schizophrenia has become increasingly popular. In this article we attempt determine what factors moderate outcome remediation. This issue primary concern, as the efficacy treatments largely depends on appropriate selection individuals and treatment methodologies that are most likely yield gains. Three...
This paper reviews the literature investigating antipsychotic medication effects on neuropsychological test results of schizophrenics. A synthesis findings suggests that specific cognitive functions are differentially affected. The toxic dopamine and muscarinic blockade adversely affect find motor coordination memory respectively. decrement in maze performance is also suggested, raising possibility frontal lobe functioning affected by neuroleptic treatment. There equivocal evidence for...
This article describes the psychometric validation of a scale designed to measure intrinsic motivation (IM) in schizophrenia. Recent studies have highlighted relationship between and functional outcome schizophrenia identified IM as an important mediating factor neurocognition psychosocial outcome. It therefore becomes imperative validated measures for empirical use. To that end, we self-report gauges central motivational structures by Self-determinism Theory pertinent cognitive task...
NEAR is an evidence based approach to cognitive remediation which was specifically developed for use with psychiatric patients. emphasizes the fact that essentially a learning activity and therefore instructional techniques incorporate basic educational principles have been shown enhance learning. Rather than using fixed software package, uses variety of exercises, are chosen on whether they meet criteria both address neuropsychological deficits be motivating engaging. The theory behind...
This study assessed the impact of attention training on information processing in schizophrenia. Fifty-four inpatients with chronic schizophrenia were randomly assigned to two groups after baseline assessment Continuous Performance Test (CPT). Patients experimental group participated individual sessions computerized remediation, while patients control during which they viewed video documentaries. After 18 sessions, reassessment CPT showed that had made significantly more improvement than...
Efforts to remediate the problem-solving deficits of patients with schizophrenia have met circumscribed success. This could be viewed as a sign immutability deficit or, alternatively, reflection inefficacy training techniques used. study examined feasibility using teaching developed within educational psychology for remediating inpatients spectrum disorders. These rely on intrinsic motivation and task engagement, which are promoted through contextualization, personalization, control learning...
Insight into psychotic symptoms is typically poor in schizophrenia; however, it not known whether insight neurocognitive impairment similarly impaired. Most people with schizophrenia experience cognitive dysfunction, and the deficits attention, memory, critical thinking have been associated functional outcome. As new treatments are developed for impairments, will be important to know patients receptive yet another therapy. an factor treatment compliance outcome; if their dysfunction. In...
The true benefit of pharmacologic intervention to improve cognition in schizophrenia may not be evident without regular cognitive enrichment. Clinical trials assessing the neurocognitive effects new medications require engagement remediation exercises stimulate potential. However, feasibility large-scale multisite studies using at clinical sites has been established.53 adult patients with DSM-IV from 9 university-affiliated were randomized a condition that included Posit Science Brain...
This study examined some of the factors associated with a positive response to cognitive remediation. Forty-eight adult participants completed 26 hours skills training at an outpatient psychiatric clinic. Results showed significant posttreatment improvement on measures sustained attention and readiness for employment. Notably, participant-determined attendance was greater improvement. In addition, there threshold treatment intensity below which no effect. underscores importance addressing in...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)-Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (MATRICS) Project related efforts have stimulated the initiation several studies pharmacologic treatments for cognitive impairment schizophrenia. Cognitive remediation may provide an excellent platform provision new learning opportunities acquisition skills patients who are engaged trials improve cognition. However, it is not clear how a intervention would be employed...
This themed issue considers different ways to conceptualize the motivational impairment that is a core negative symptom of schizophrenia. Motivational has been linked poor functional outcome, thus it important understand nature and causes in order develop better treatment strategies enhance motivation engage patients process recovery. Motivation refers processes whereby goal-directed activities are instigated sustained can be thought as product complex interaction physiological social...
Expectancy-value theory, a widely accepted model of motivation, posits that expectations success on learning task and the individual value placed are central determinants motivation to learn. This is supported by research in healthy controls suggesting beliefs self-and-content mastery can be so influential they predict degree improvement challenging cognitive tasks even more than general ability. We examined components expectancy-value theory (perceived competency value), along with baseline...
