The program included 24 sessions over 3 months, conducted twice weekly in small groups. Each session combined computerized cognitive training and a bridging session to support real\u2010life application. Pre\u2010 and post\u2010CRT assessments included the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS), modified Tinkertoy Test (m\u2010TTT), Idea Fluency Test (IFT), Design Fluency Test (DFT), and Life Skills Profile (LSP).
