Actual (reported)This study is being done to develop new methods to help smokers with schizophrenia to successfully reduce their smoking and/or quit. This is not a treatment study, but will help find new techniques to create better treatments. Specifically, the investigators are interested in learning more about how thoughts and attention problems associated with schizophrenia might play a role in smoking, as well as the impact of cognitive (thinking, reasoning, and remembering) training and brain stimulation on these symptoms and on actual smoking.

Actual (reported)Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (MATRICS™): MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB)
the MATRICS Consensus battery (MCCB) is a cognitive battery of tests for assessing cognition-enhancing treatments for schizophrenia through a broadly based scientific evaluation of measures. Change in cognitive measures of MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB). Post-intervention minus baseline. Scale is scored 0-100. Difference score range is (-100 to 100) with positive scores reflecting improvement.
