Study type | Interventional |
The purpose of this study is to investigate the usefulness of neuroscience-guided cognitive training combined with community-based supported employment for people with schizophrenia. The investigators will examine the effectiveness of moving our study of neuroplasticity-based restorative targeted cognitive training out of the laboratory and into the community setting; and the investigators will also investigate its utility in enhancing functional outcome in chronically mentally ill adults who are participating in supported employment.
