Cognitive Mechanisms and Outcome
Group leader: Torill Ueland
The main aim of the Cognitive Mechanisms and Outcome group is to capture the variation and course of cognitive functioning in psychotic disorders and to identify mechanisms underlying cognitive dysfunction and cognitive heterogeneity.
In addition to investigating cognition and its underlying mechanisms, the group examines measures of social cognition to better predict real-life functioning and develops new digital measures of functional outcome. The studies combine large-scale datasets of cognitive performance in patients and healthy controls with smaller, in-depth datasets measuring cognition over time.
The group uses cognitive and clinical data, brain imaging, genetic and biochemical assessments to identify cognitive markers, monitor the course of functioning, and inform individualized interventions, including cognitive remediation.
