Key Points

The aim was to compare the effects of action-based cognitive remediation and traditional cognitive remediation on cognitive and vocational outcomes in individuals with serious mental illnesses.
Sequential enrollment with 50 individuals from a community vocational rehabilitation program.
Participants engaged in Action-Based Cognitive Remediation (N=24) or traditional cognitive remediation (N=26) over 10 weeks with twice-weekly sessions.
Repeated measures analysis of variance evaluated pre- and post-treatment effects, with follow-up at 10 weeks.
83% of ABCR participants completed the intervention compared to 57% of tCR; perceived competence increased significantly in ABCR (η2 = .23).
ABCR outperformed tCR on functional competence (η2 = .53); small nonsignificant differences were found in social cognition (η2 = .14) and neurocognition (η2 = .16).
68.4% of ABCR participants were competitively employed compared to 40% of tCR, with less job-related stress reported in ABCR (η2 = .37).
