Increased understanding of the underlying mechanisms of cognitive remediation is needed to facilitate development of intervention strategies for childhood cancer survivors experiencing cognitive late effects. Accordingly, a pilot functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study was conducted with 14 cancer survivors (12.02 ± 0.09 years old), who participated in a cognitive remediation clinica...

Several alternatives to medication exist as treatments for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). One alternative treatment modality is Cognitive Remediation, or Neuropsychological Remediation, as it is sometimes called. Cognitive remediation is a therapeutic approach targeting specific cognitive functions, such as attention, organization, planning, or memory, that constitute an indiv...

This article reports on two studies that examine the relationship between measurements of activities of daily living (ADL) and cognitive skills performance. Study 1 is a post hoc analysis of ADL improvement scores collected on acute stroke patients who were either given or not given cognitive skills remediation. An examination of individual ADL scores showed significantly higher personal hygien...

Cognitive deficits limit psychosocial functioning in schizophrenia. For many patients, cognitive remediation approaches have yielded encouraging results. Nevertheless, therapeutic response is variable, and outcome studies consistently identify individuals who respond minimally to these interventions. Biomarkers that can assist in identifying patients likely to benefit from particular forms of c...

Objectives: Cognitive impairment is a key feature of schizophrenia with relevant consequences on patients’ functioning. Several quantitative reviews and meta-analyses have established that cognitive remediation is effective in reducing cognitive deficits and in improving functional outcome both in chronic schizophrenia and in the early stages of the illness. Current literature underlines that s...

Social cognition is increasingly viewed as a viable treatment target. This is in large part due to a growing body of evidence demonstrating that social cognitive abilities contribute to real-world outcomes 1,2 and that remediation of social cognitive impairments leads to improvements in functional outcome. The work of Lindenmayer and colleagues 6 represents an important step in efforts to optim...

OBJECTIVE Cognitive remediation therapy for schizophrenia was developed to treat cognitive problems that affect functioning, but the treatment effects may depend on the type of trial methodology adopted. The present meta-analysis will determine the effects of treatment and whether study method or potential moderators influence the estimates. METHOD Electronic databases were searched up to Jun...

AIMS To evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive remediation therapy on cognitive difficulties experienced by people with schizophrenia.

Cognitive remediation is a promising pathway for ameliorating cognitive impairment of patients with schizophrenia. Here, we investigate predictors of improvement in problem-solving ability for two different types of cognitive remediation - specific problem-solving training and training of basic cognition. For this purpose we conducted a re-analysis of a randomized controlled trial comparing the...
