Study Summary

This trial examines whether a cognitive training intervention can help improve emotion regulation in people with psychotic disorders. It is hypothesized that the cognitive training program will help by increasing activity in the prefrontal cortex, leading to better emotion regulation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-60 with a diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, who are clinically stable and have not changed their antipsychotic medication recently. Participants must speak English and have an IQ over 70. Those with recent substance abuse (except nicotine), significant brain injury, or neurological disorders cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether cognitive training can help people with psychotic disorders manage their emotions better. It involves two types of training: one that targets emotional working memory and another placebo version without this focus. The goal is to see if the targeted training improves brain function related to emotion regulation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve non-invasive cognitive training exercises, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in this trial.
