About us
We are an international network of professionals dedicated to the advancement of cognitive remediation. Through research, training and collaboration we aim to enhance the quality of cognitive remediation therapies and make them accessible.
Our History
The Cognitive Remediation Experts Workshop (CREW) was established over 15 years ago as a collaborative network of experts specialising in CR research and clinical practice. In 2012, CREW formulated a widely accepted definition of cognitive remediation, describing it as an intervention targeting cognitive deficits using scientific learning principles, aiming to improve functional outcomes. This definition was later refined in 2023 to encompass a broader range of cognitive processes, reflecting advancements in the field. Throughout its history, CREW has played a pivotal role in identifying core features of cognitive remediation treatments and providing recommendations for their design, implementation, and reporting, thereby enhancing the efficacy and dissemination of these interventions.
