Targeting Processing Speed Deficits to Improve Social Functioning and Lower Psychosis Risk (NCT05131035)
Targeting Processing Speed Deficits to Improve Social Functioning and Lower Psychosis Risk in Adolescents at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This 10 week intervention, Specific Cognitive Remediation with Surround (or SCORES), is designed to target processing speed, a cognitive domain related directly to social functioning, which in turn, represents a vulnerability factor for psychosis. This remotely-delivered intervention combining targeted cognitive training exercises and group support was developed to directly impact processing speed, and at the same time, boost motivation and engagement in adolescents at risk for schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.
