TL;DR: This study investigated what type of information reduces stigmatization of schizophrenia, and found that knowledge of the symptoms associated with the acute phase of schizophrenia created more stigma than the label of schizophrenia alone.

TL;DR: There was significant improvement in both conditions on measures of attention, memory, and executive functioning, providing support for the hypothesis that therapeutic procedures that target impaired cognition enhance response to conventional psychiatric rehabilitation modalities over a 6-month timeframe.

TL;DR: A history of childhood maltreatment appears to be a significant determinant of premorbid functioning, illness-related symptom expression, and specific forms of cognitive dysfunction among adults with serious mental illness.

TL;DR: A missing data imputation method based on one of the most popular techniques in Knowledge Discovery in Databases, i.e. clustering technique, is presented and it is shown that the fuzzy imputation algorithm presents better performance than the basic clustering algorithm.

TL;DR: There is now enough evidence that cognitive difficulties experienced by people with schizophrenia can change and that the agenda for the next generation of studies is to increase these effects systematically through cognitive remediation.
