Summary

This study looked at whether adding cognitive remediation therapy (a type of brain training) to supported education (help returning to school) improves academic functioning in young adults with psychotic disorders. Only 9 people enrolled before the study was stopped early. The goal was to see if the combination helps with school performance, thinking skills, and daily life.
