Summary

This study tested whether customizing cognitive training based on a person's early auditory processing ability improves thinking and daily functioning in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. 194 adults from community mental health centers were grouped by their auditory skills and then randomly assigned to either a personalized or standard brain-training program. The goal was to see if matching the training to each person's needs leads to better results in verbal learning and real-world abilities.
