The number of studies about the neuropsichology of the schizophrenia has grown up in the last decades. These studies have tried to know the cognitive deficits that show the schizophrenic patients and the consecuences of these deficits in their adaptation. The increasing awareness of the importance of the neurocognitive impairments has fostered considerable interest in the prospects for cognitive rehabilitation. In this paper we present the main cognitive deficits on schizophrenia and their consecuences and we review the impact of cognitive rehabilitation in cognitive and social outcome for individuals with schizophrenia.
