Popis: Cognitive remediation (CR) is an effective treatment for schizophrenia. However, issues such as motivational impairments, geographic limitations, and limited availability of specialized clinicians to deliver CR, can impede dissemination. Remote delivery of CR provides an opportunity to implement CR on a broader scale. While empirical support for the efficacy of in-person CR is robust, the evidence-base for virtual delivery of CR is limited. Thus, in this review we aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of remote CR interventions. Nine (n = 847) fully remote and one hybrid CR intervention were included in this review. Attrition rates for remote CR were generally high compared to control groups. Acceptability rates for remote CR interventions were high and responses from caregivers were positive. Further research using more methodologically rigorous designs is required to evaluate appropriate adaptations for remote treatment and determine which populations may benefit more from remote CR.
