| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed the original computer software which provided practice across a broad range of cognitive functioning, including psychomotor speed, attention, memory, executive functions, and fluency. This study examined whether cognitive rehabilitation using original computer software is more effective than the standard treatment in both cognitive and social functioning. Subjects were engaged in 2 sessions of the cognitive training per week for 12 weeks and took part in 1 session of bridging group per week for 12 weeks.
Thirty-nine outpatients with schizophrenia were randomized to either a cognitive rehabilitation group (CRG, n=22) or treatment as usual group (TAU, n=17). Negative symptom, general psychopathology, verbal memory, executive functions and BACS composite score show significantly higher in CRG than in TAU. However the improvement of cognitive function doesn’t reach the improvement of social functions.
