Association of Neurocognition With Transition to Psychosis: Baseline Functioning in the Second Phase of the North American Prodrome Longitudinal Study

Abstract

Neurocognition is a central characteristic of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Identifying the pattern and severity of neurocognitive functioning during the “near-psychotic”, prodromal, clinical high-risk (CHR) state is necessary to develop accurate predictors of psychosis and more effective and potentially preventative treatments.
