Abstract
This case study reports the effect of Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) on cognitive functional disorder resulting from schizophrenia. Furthermore, the influence of divergent thinking on the generalization of the effects of interventions on daily life activities has been noted. As a result of conducting VCAT-J of CRT in this study, improvement of neurocognitive function, and divergent thought increased;furthermore, daily live experiences changed. Although the results were displayed only when the patient engaged with the game task during the early intervention stage, the patient eventually started to become aware of his own weak points and took necessary measures to improve from the middle stage onward. Furthermore, it was observed that the patient exchanged opinions more frequently during the bridging group work activity. After the intervention, working memory remarkably improved and fixations present prior to intervention decreased. These results suggest CRT may contribute to generalization of cognitive function and divergent thinking in daily life activities.
