Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Psychiatric Research
  • Clinical Trials

Background:

  • Schizophrenia is associated with significant cognitive deficits, particularly in executive functions.
  • Improving cognitive function is a key goal for schizophrenia treatment research.
  • The Cognitive Neuroscience Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (CNTRICS) initiative aims to identify reliable cognitive measures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To select promising cognitive tasks for assessing executive control in schizophrenia.
  • To evaluate nominated tasks against prespecified criteria for use in clinical trials.
  • To advance the development of cognitive measures for schizophrenia research.

Main Methods:

  • The CNTRICS executive control breakout group reviewed nominated tasks for two constructs: rule generation/selection and dynamic adjustments in control.
  • Tasks were evaluated based on prespecified criteria relevant to clinical trial application.
  • Consensus was reached on tasks suitable for further development and translation.

Main Results:

  • For rule generation and selection, the intradimensional/extradimensional shift task and the switching Stroop task were recommended.
  • For dynamic adjustments in control, Stroop conflict/error adaptation and the stop signal task were recommended.
  • These tasks were deemed appropriate for translation into clinical trial contexts.

Conclusions:

  • The selected tasks represent promising measures for assessing executive control in schizophrenia.
  • These recommendations facilitate the standardization of cognitive assessments in schizophrenia clinical trials.
  • Further development of these tasks will aid in evaluating cognitive treatments for schizophrenia.
