This study is testing a cognitive training program to help people with psychotic disorders better manage their emotions. It compares two types of training: "Emotional working memory training," which uses emotional tasks, and "Placebo working memory training," which uses non-emotional tasks. Researchers want to see if the emotional training can improve how your brain's prefrontal cortex (the front part of your brain involved in decision-making and emotion) works, leading to better emotion regulation. You might be able to join if you are 18-60 years old, have been diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, speak English, and have been stable on your antipsychotic medication. The study aims to enroll 70 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
