Join a computer-based group cognitive training research study! The research goal is to improve skills, such as problem solving, planning, memory, processing speed. Cognitive impairment is among the strongest predictors of functioning in people with schizophrenia. CR can improve memory and thinking processes in middle-aged people with schizophrenia. The CR-LLS study aims to improve cognition in older adults (? age 55) diagnosed with late-life schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder (LLS).
