Social cognition training improves recognition of individual emotions in schizophrenia disorder.

ABSTRACT: Impaired recognition of angry, fearful, and emotionless (i.e., neutral) faces is associated with poor social functioning among individuals with schizophrenia disorder (SZ).

We report results from a randomized controlled trial (Trial Registration: NCT02246426) evaluating how computerized social cognition training (SCT) impacts recognition of individual emotions in SZ. Ninety-eight individuals with SZ were randomly assigned to one of two internet-based interventions: SCT or a control condition (computer games without social content) (CON). Participants completed
