متن کاملWhen top-down meets bottom-up: auditory training enhances verbal memory in schizophrenia.
A critical research priority for our field is to develop treatments that enhance cognitive functioning in schizophrenia and thereby attenuate the functional losses associated with the illness. In this article, we describe such a treatment method that is grounded in emerging research on the widespread sensory processing impairments of schizophrenia, as described elsewhere in this special issue. ...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of auditory verbal working memory in schizophrenia.
The heterogeneity of schizophrenia remains an obstacle for understanding its pathophysiology. Studies using a tone discrimination screening test to classify patients have found evidence for 2 subgroups having either a specific deficit in verbal working memory (WM) or deficits in both verbal and nonverbal memory. This study aimed to (a) replicate in larger samples differences between these subgr...
متن کاملNeuroplasticity-based auditory training via laptop computer improves cognition in young individuals with recent onset schizophrenia.
OBJECTIVE Cognitive deficits that characterize schizophrenia are present in the prodrome, worsen with illness onset, and predict functional outcome. Cognitive dysfunction is thus a critical target for early intervention in young individuals with recent onset schizophrenia. METHOD This 2-site double-blind randomized controlled trial investigated cognitive training of auditory processing/verbal...
