Type | Social Cognition Trained? | Neurocognition Trained? | Treatments in Category |
---|---|---|---|
Treatment as Usual (TAU) | No | No | 18 |
Active Control Condition (ACC)a | No | In some cases (cf. table 2). | 26 |
SCT – Targeted (SCTT)b | Yes, 1 or 2 domains | No | 14 |
SCT – Targeted with CRT (SCTT+)b | Yes, 1 or 2 domains | Yes | 9 |
SCT – Broad-based (SCTB) | Yes, >2 domains | No | 14 |
SCT – Broad-based with CRT (SCTB+) | Yes, >2 domains | Yes | 10 |
Note: SCT, Social Cognition Training.
aIn 7 studies, Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) was used as a control group. Since it is an active form of treatment that does not explicitly target social cognition, it was classified as an active control group. To investigate a potential treatment effect of CRT, we added the use of CRT as a variable to the moderator analyses.
bWe defined targeted treatments as those targeting 1 or 2 domains of social cognition, as there were several treatments (eg, training of affect recognition8) that predominantly targeted a single domain, but also included some training of a second domain, and therefore were not as comprehensive as many of the treatments classified as “broad-based.”
