Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The questions for the purposes of this project are:
1. Is CAT effective among individuals with schizophrenia under the age of 30?
and
2. Does integrating cognitive remediation with CAT enhance outcomes as compared with CAT alone?

Cognitive Adaptation Training
Cognitive Adaptation Training (CAT) is a standardized approach to the use of environmental supports for improving multiple domains of adaptive functioning including adherence to medication, grooming, and activities of daily living in patients with schizophrenia.
Cognitive Adaptation Training
Cognitive Adaptation Training (CAT) is a manual-driven standardized approach that uses environmental supports to improve multiple domains of adaptive functioning including adherence to medication, grooming, and activities of daily living in patients with schizophrenia. Interventions for each functional deficit are based on two dimensions 1) level of impairment in executive functions (determined by neurocognitive tests) and 2) whether the overt behavior of the individual is characterized more by apathy (poverty of speech/movement/inability to initiate and follow through on behavioral sequences), disinhibition (distractibility/behavior which is highly cue-driven) or a combination of these styles (based on the Frontal Lobe Personality Scale (FLOPS).
Action Based Cognitive Remediation
ABCR is applied in once weekly 2 hour sessions in small groups (6-8 per group). In these group sessions, simulated bridging activities are done immediately following computerized cognitive activation to increase the chance that participants retain the strategies just developed in a real life environment.
