Neurocognitive Deficits and Functional Outcome in Schizophrenia: Are We Measuring the “Right Stuff”?
TL;DR: This paper will attempt to confirm the conclusions from a previous review that certain neurocognitive domains (secondary verbal memory, immediate memory, executive functioning as measured by card sorting, and vigilance) are associated with functional outcome.

TL;DR: The MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery is expected to be the standard tool for assessing cognitive change in clinical trials of cognition-enhancing drugs for schizophrenia and may also aid evaluation of cognitive remediation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal studies of cognition and functional outcome in schizophrenia: implications for MATRICS.
TL;DR: Results from these studies reveal considerable support for longitudinal associations between cognition and community outcome in schizophrenia and demonstrate that cognitive assessment predict later functional outcome and provide a rationale for psychopharmacological interventions for cognitive deficits in schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Approaching a consensus cognitive battery for clinical trials in schizophrenia: The NIMH-MATRICS conference to select cognitive domains and test criteria
Michael F. Green,Keith H. Nuechterlein,James M. Gold,M Deanna,Jonathan D. Cohen,Susan M. Essock,Wayne S. Fenton,Fred Frese,Terry E. Goldberg,Robert K. Heaton,Richard S.E. Keefe,Robert S. Kern,Helena C. Kraemer,Ellen Stover,Daniel R. Weinberger,Steven Zalcman,Stephen R. Marder +16 more
TL;DR: In the first MATRICS consensus conference as discussed by the authors, the goal was to identify the cognitive domains that should be represented in a consensus cognitive battery and prioritize key criteria for selection of tests for the battery.
Journal ArticleDOI
The MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery, part 2: co-norming and standardization.

TL;DR: The consensus cognitive battery developed by the National Institute of Mental Health's (NIMH) Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (MATRICS) initiative includes 10 independently developed tests that are recommended as the standard battery for clinical trials of cognitionenhancing interventions for schizophrenia as mentioned in this paper.
