Summary
This study tested whether adding a medication to a computer-based cognitive training program could improve thinking and daily function in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. 68 adults completed 30 sessions of targeted cognitive training while some also received a drug meant to enhance the brain's ability to learn. The goal was to see if the combination worked better than training alone.
