    <brief_summary>
      <textblock>
        Individuals living with a psychotic disorder often experience changes to their thinking and&#xD;
        social skills that can lead to challenges with work, school, relationships and living&#xD;
        independently. One intervention to target these areas is cognitive remediation therapy, which&#xD;
        can be delivered in virtual reality to help apply the skills and strategies learned to&#xD;
        day-to-day life. Over the past few years, our team has co-developed a cognitive remediation&#xD;
        program in virtual reality with healthcare professionals and people with lived experiences of&#xD;
        psychosis. The current trial tests the feasibility and efficacy of this cognitive remediation&#xD;
        program in virtual reality at improving thinking skills, social skills, and daily life&#xD;
        functioning.&#xD;
      </textblock>

    <detailed_description>
      <textblock>
        Eligible participants will be administered various clinical (including a module from the Mini&#xD;
        International Neuropsychiatric Interview and the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale Intelligence&#xD;
        (WASI) to confirm eligibility), neurocognitive, social-cognitive, and community functioning&#xD;
        assessments across two baseline visits. Participants are then randomly assigned to one of two&#xD;
        study arms (a cognitive remediation intervention and active control, both using virtual&#xD;
        reality). Regardless of the study arm assignment, participants will complete a six weeks (12&#xD;
        visits) training program where they will complete exercises in virtual reality and converse&#xD;
        with study staff about a pre-selected topic. After each training visits, participants will&#xD;
        also complete short questionnaires about their experience. One-week and three-months&#xD;
        post-intervention, participants will complete the same assessments administered during the&#xD;
        baseline visits. Also, at the one-week post-intervention time point, participants will&#xD;
        complete a satisfaction with cognitive remediation program questionnaire.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        The investigators will also use ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) delivered through a&#xD;
        smartphone app to measure changes in thinking skills and daily life functioning within the&#xD;
        context of this clinical trial. At the first visit, the investigators will invite&#xD;
        participants to download the EMA app, DigiSensing, to their phone. DigiSensing is built from&#xD;
        the open access MindLamp app, which has been used to measure neurocognition in previous&#xD;
        studies. Through the DigiSensing app, the investigators will deliver three, ten-minute&#xD;
        assessments at baseline, one-week post-intervention, and six-months post-intervention. Each&#xD;
        assessment has thinking skill tasks, and questions about mood, clinical symptoms, thinking&#xD;
        skills, and daily life functioning.&#xD;

  Individuals living with a psychotic disorder often experience changes to their thinking and
        social skills that can lead to challenges with work, school, relationships and living
        independently. One intervention to target these areas is cognitive remediation therapy, which
        can be delivered in virtual reality to help apply the skills and strategies learned to
        day-to-day life. Over the past few years, our team has co-developed a cognitive remediation
        program in virtual reality with healthcare professionals and people with lived experiences of
        psychosis. The current trial tests the feasibility and efficacy of this cognitive remediation
        program in virtual reality at improving thinking skills, social skills, and daily life
        functioning.
  Eligible participants will be administered various clinical (including a module from the Mini
        International Neuropsychiatric Interview and the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale Intelligence
        (WASI) to confirm eligibility), neurocognitive, social-cognitive, and community functioning
        assessments across two baseline visits. Participants are then randomly assigned to one of two
        study arms (a cognitive remediation intervention and active control, both using virtual
        reality). Regardless of the study arm assignment, participants will complete a six weeks (12
        visits) training program where they will complete exercises in virtual reality and converse
        with study staff about a pre-selected topic. After each training visits, participants will
        also complete short questionnaires about their experience. One-week and three-months
        post-intervention, participants will complete the same assessments administered during the
        baseline visits. Also, at the one-week post-intervention time point, participants will
        complete a satisfaction with cognitive remediation program questionnaire.
  
        The investigators will also use ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) delivered through a
        smartphone app to measure changes in thinking skills and daily life functioning within the
        context of this clinical trial. At the first visit, the investigators will invite
        participants to download the EMA app, DigiSensing, to their phone. DigiSensing is built from
        the open access MindLamp app, which has been used to measure neurocognition in previous
        studies. Through the DigiSensing app, the investigators will deliver three, ten-minute
        assessments at baseline, one-week post-intervention, and six-months post-intervention. Each
        assessment has thinking skill tasks, and questions about mood, clinical symptoms, thinking
        skills, and daily life functioning.
