Trial Outcomes & Findings for Minnesota Community-Based Cognitive Training in Early Psychosis (NCT NCT03079024)
NCT ID: NCT03079024
Last Updated: 2025-01-23
Results Overview
A composite T-score of: 1. Symbol Coding from the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS): Symbol Coding. Timed paper-and-pencil test in which respondent uses a key to write digits that correspond to nonsense symbols. 2. Category Fluency: Animal Naming: Oral test in which respondent names as many animals as she/he can in 1 minute. 3. Trail Making Test: Part A: Timed paper-and-pencil test in which respondent draws a line to connect consecutively numbered circles placed irregularly on a sheet of paper. The composite T-score is the average T-score across the 3 measures. T-scores range from 0-100, with higher T-scores corresponding to better performance. A T- score of 50 indicates the population mean (average) with a standard deviation of 10\.

Targeted Cognitive Training (TCT)
Neuroadaptive Cognitive Training
Targeted Cognitive Training: 1. Auditory Training Module (20 hours): exercises designed to improve speed and accuracy of auditory processing while engaging working memory and cognitive control. Exercises adjust difficulty level to maintain an \~80% correct performance. Exercises contain stimuli spanning the acoustic organization of speech. In the initial stages, stimuli exaggerate the rapid temporal transitions by increasing amplitude and stretching in time. The exaggeration is gradually removed so that by the end, all stimuli have characteristics representative of real-world speech.
2\. Social Cognition Module (10 hours): exercises designed to improve core deficits of social cognition in psychosis. Exercises apply principles of implicit learning to restore capacity to process and utilize socially-relevant information, and includes training to improve perception of affect (visual/vocal) and social cues (faces, gazes, social situations), theory of mind, self-referential style, emotion labeling and working memory.
Coordinated Specialty Care for First Episode Psychosis: Individuals in this study are receiving care from a coordinated specialty care clinic (CSC) for first episode psychosis. These clinics are following the NAVIGATE treatment model for early psychosis.

General Cognitive Exercises (GCE)
Neuroadaptive cognitive training
General Cognitive Exercises: The GCE will focus on executive dysfunction, as this domain is a significant, functionally important area of deficit in schizophrenia and has been the target of many previous studies. We will train this domain using a suite of engaging, adaptive web-based exercises that target executive function, intelligence, and spatial navigation developed by Posit Science. The exercises will be provide engaging, adaptive training as described in the Targeted Cognitive Training.

Timeframe: 6 months followupVerbal and Visual Working Memory: A composite score of the Letter- Number Span test and the Spatial Span test from the Wechsler Memory Scale®-3rd Ed. (WMS®-III). Letter-Number Span: An orally administered test in which respondent mentally reorders strings of number and letters and repeats them to administrator. Spatial Span: Using a board on which 10 cubes are irregularly spaced, respondent taps cubes in same (or reverse) sequence as test administrator. The composite T-score is the average T-score across the 2 measures. T-scores range from 0-100, with higher T-scores corresponding to better performance. A T-score of 50 indicates the population mean (average) with a standard deviation of 10.

Neuroadaptive Cognitive Training
Targeted Cognitive Training: 1. Auditory Training Module (20 hours): exercises designed to improve speed and accuracy of auditory processing while engaging working memory and cognitive control. Exercises adjust difficulty level to maintain an \~80% correct performance. Exercises contain stimuli spanning the acoustic organization of speech. In the initial stages, stimuli exaggerate the rapid temporal transitions by increasing amplitude and stretching in time. The exaggeration is gradually removed so that by the end, all stimuli have characteristics representative of real-world speech.
2\. Social Cognition Module (10 hours): exercises designed to improve core deficits of social cognition in psychosis. Exercises apply principles of implicit learning to restore capacity to process and utilize socially-relevant information, and includes training to improve perception of affect (visual/vocal) and social cues (faces, gazes, social situations), theory of mind, self-referential style, emotion labeling and working memory.

In the initial stages, stimuli exaggerate the rapid temporal transitions by increasing amplitude and stretching in time. The exaggeration is gradually removed so that by the end, all stimuli have characteristics representative of real-world speech.
2\. Social Cognition Module (10 hours): exercises designed to improve core deficits of social cognition in psychosis. Exercises apply principles of implicit learning to restore capacity to process and utilize socially-relevant information, and includes training to improve perception of affect (visual/vocal) and social cues (faces, gazes, social situations), theory of mind, self-referential style, emotion labeling and working memory.
Coordinated Specialty Care for First Episode Psychosis: Individuals in this study are receiving care from a coordinated specialty care clinic (CSC) for first episode psychosis. These clinics are following the NAVIGATE treatment model for early psychosis.

Timeframe: BaselineReward Sensitivity--Consummatory Pleasure: This measure assesses pleasure experienced in the moment and consists of 8 items. An example item is: "The smell of freshly cut grass is enjoyable to me." Participants rate how true the statement is for them on a scale of 1 (very false for me) to 6 (very true for me). A mean item score is computed as the average rating across all items, with higher mean item scores corresponding to greater consummatory pleasure.

General Cognitive Exercises: The GCE will focus on executive dysfunction, as this domain is a significant, functionally important area of deficit in schizophrenia and has been the target of many previous studies. We will train this domain using a suite of engaging, adaptive web-based exercises that target executive function, intelligence, and spatial navigation developed by Posit Science. The exercises will be provide engaging, adaptive training as described in the Targeted Cognitive Training.

Neuroadaptive Cognitive Training
Targeted Cognitive Training: 1. Auditory Training Module (20 hours): exercises designed to improve speed and accuracy of auditory processing while engaging working memory and cognitive control. Exercises adjust difficulty level to maintain an \~80% correct performance. Exercises contain stimuli spanning the acoustic organization of speech. In the initial stages, stimuli exaggerate the rapid temporal transitions by increasing amplitude and stretching in time. The exaggeration is gradually removed so that by the end, all stimuli have characteristics representative of real-world speech.
2\. Social Cognition Module (10 hours): exercises designed to improve core deficits of social cognition in psychosis. Exercises apply principles of implicit learning to restore capacity to process and utilize socially-relevant information, and includes training to improve perception of affect (visual/vocal) and social cues (faces, gazes, social situations), theory of mind, self-referential style, emotion labeling and working memory.

In the initial stages, stimuli exaggerate the rapid temporal transitions by increasing amplitude and stretching in time. The exaggeration is gradually removed so that by the end, all stimuli have characteristics representative of real-world speech.
2\. Social Cognition Module (10 hours): exercises designed to improve core deficits of social cognition in psychosis. Exercises apply principles of implicit learning to restore capacity to process and utilize socially-relevant information, and includes training to improve perception of affect (visual/vocal) and social cues (faces, gazes, social situations), theory of mind, self-referential style, emotion labeling and working memory.
Coordinated Specialty Care for First Episode Psychosis: Individuals in this study are receiving care from a coordinated specialty care clinic (CSC) for first episode psychosis. These clinics are following the NAVIGATE treatment model for early psychosis.

Neuroadaptive cognitive training
General Cognitive Exercises: The GCE will focus on executive dysfunction, as this domain is a significant, functionally important area of deficit in schizophrenia and has been the target of many previous studies. We will train this domain using a suite of engaging, adaptive web-based exercises that target executive function, intelligence, and spatial navigation developed by Posit Science. The exercises will be provide engaging, adaptive training as described in the Targeted Cognitive Training.
