In addition to accuracy and the kappa statistic, we examined session-by-session correlations between values measured by machine learning and those recorded by a human observer. Nearly all our models produced high correlations (i.e., .90 or more) and resulted in better metrics than those reported by the original study.

To address these impairments, cognitive remediation (i.e., interventions aimed at enhancing cognitive abilities such as attention and memory based on learning principles with the goal of improving psychosocial adjustment) has emerged in recent decades as a dynamic, rapidly evolving evidence-based practice. In this introduction we provide a summary of controlled research on the effects of cognitive remediation on cognitive and psychosocial functioning in people with serious mental illness, highlighting the results of three meta-analyses using similar methods conducted over 14 years. We next review different methods employed in cognitive remediation and summarize the recommendations of a consensus expert panel on the critical component of effective programs. We then highlight four papers in this special issue that illustrate the broad range of applications and research questions addressed in contemporary research on cognitive remediation. One paper examines the intriguing effects of combining cognitive remediation with aerobic exercise to improve psychotic symptoms in first episode psychosis, while a second one explores the feasibility of using cognitive remediation to enhance independent living skills training in people living in locked supervised residential settings awaiting discharge into the community. A third paper describes the processes involved in the cultural adaptation of a widely researched program for improving social cognition.
