SCoRS

SCoRS (Subjective Cognitive and Role Status) is a self-report measure of cognitive function and role performance. It was developed by the Cognitive Neuroscience Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (CNTRICS) initiative. The SCoRS is used to assess cognitive deficits in individuals with schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders.

Overview

The SCoRS is a 20-item scale that measures cognitive function and role performance in individuals with schizophrenia. The scale is designed to be completed by the individual, a clinician, and an informant (such as a family member or caregiver). The SCoRS includes items that assess memory, attention, problem-solving, and social cognition.

Use in Research

The SCoRS has been used in numerous research studies to assess cognitive function in individuals with schizophrenia. It has been shown to be a reliable and valid measure of cognitive function and role performance in this population.

Limitations

While the SCoRS is a useful tool for assessing cognitive function in individuals with schizophrenia, it has some limitations. For example, it relies on self-report and informant-report, which may be subject to bias. Additionally, it may not capture all aspects of cognitive function, particularly those that are not easily observable or measurable.
