In addition to the higher levels of cognitive functioning needed, CPS requires that problem solvers characterize problems in expert-like ways.
This second aspect of problem solving emphasizes the levels of cognitive functioning or expert-like skills necessary for solving the problem.
A recent-meta-analysis has shown that participation in cognitive remediation programs is associated with improvements in multiple domains of cognitive functioning, including problem-solving ability [ 26].
The success of CR in improving problem-solving skills (and other areas of cognitive functioning) raises the possibility that individuals with first-episode psychosis who participate concurrently in MFG and CR may be better able to learn and apply the problem-solving activity completed during MFG sessions.
