Impaired verbal memory in
schizophrenia is a key rate-limiting factor
for functional outcome, does not respond
to currently available medications, and
shows only modest improvement after
conventional behavioral remediation.
The authors investigated an innovative
approach to the remediation of verbal
memory in schizophrenia, based on principles
derived from the basic neuroscience
of learning-induced neuroplasticity.
The authors report interim findings in
this ongoing study.
