Abstract
Most clinical profiles of schizophrenia place cognitive deficits in its center. Specific information processes that might be deficient include attention, memory, executive functioning, language processing, and psychomotor functioning. Intervention programs are better designed for the specific deficits shown by an individual rather than a generic pattern for all persons with schizophrenia. Errorless learning strategies have been successfully adapted to address specific cognitive deficits.Keywords
