Purpose of Study

The purpose of this study is to contribute to improving our understanding of functioning in psychosis. Memory is an important predictor of how well individuals affected by schizophrenia and related psychoses are able function in their social and occupational lives. However, the exact structures and functions in the brain responsible for this relationship are currently unknown.

Participation in this study involves an interview, questionnaires, behavioral tasks and an MRI session conducted over two visits. During the MRI session, participants will perform a relational memory task where they will be presented with pairs of images and the goal is to remember those pairs together. They will also be asked questions while they look at the image during encoding.

Eligibility

This study is open to participants between 18 to 60 years of age. Both healthy participants and participants with a lifetime diagnosis of schizophrenia spectrum disorder or bipolar I disorder will be recruited. Participants must be able to understand English. As well, any contraindications for MRI, such as the presence of metallic objects in the body or pregnancy would be grounds for exclusion from participating in the study.
