Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether learning and belief updating change in response to the treatment of persecutory delusions, in individuals with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. The main questions are: 1. do prior expectations about environmental volatility reduce following effective psychotherapeutic treatment of delusions? 2. does corresponding brain activity related to volatility change with effective treatment of delusions? Participants will: 1. engage in CBTp or TAU + phone check-ins for 16 weeks 2. complete assessments at 4 timepoints over the course of 6 months 3. complete an MRI when possible

Primary Outcome

Reversal learning data will be collected from a 3-option probabilistic reversal learning task. This data will be analyzed using a computational model that estimates the prior expectations of environmental volatility. That parameter, in many models, is Mu3.
