The effect of cognitive remediation in individuals at ultra-high risk for psychosis: a systematic review

Abstract Cognitive deficits are prominent features of the ultra-high risk state for psychosis that are known to impact functioning and course of illness. Cognitive remediation appears to be the most promising treatment approach to alleviate the cognitive deficits, which may translate into functional...
