An interventional study of Training in Affect Recognition in Schizophrenia and Social Cognition, sponsored by Oslo University Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Norway. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 55 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-05-22.

People with schizophrenia show deficits in social cognition, the ability to process information about other people such as identifying their emotional expressions. Social cognition is associated with everyday life functioning and could therefore be an important treatment target. Several social cognitive training programs have been developed during the last years. Results indicate that social cognitive performance can be ameliorated through commonly used intervention techniques. However, it is less clear whether this improvement generalizes to everyday life. The purpose of this study is to investigate if a social cognitive training program (Training in Affect Recognition) improves performance on social cognitive and neuropsychological tests and leads to improved everyday life functioning in persons with schizophrenia. The study also aims at examining if an improvement is present three months after completion of the training intervention.
