To evaluate the efficacy of cognitive remediation for improving cognitive performance, psychiatric symptoms, and psychosocial functioning in individuals with schizophrenia.
Conducted a meta-analysis synthesizing data from 26 randomized, controlled trials.
Evaluated outcomes across a total sample size of N=1,151 patients with schizophrenia.
Cognitive remediation produced significant improvements across outcomes, yielding a medium effect size for cognitive performance (0.41), an effect size of 0.36 for psychosocial functioning, and a small effect size for symptoms (0.28).
Improvements in psychosocial functioning were significantly stronger in trials that provided adjunctive psychiatric rehabilitation compared with cognitive remediation alone.
