Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evidence indicates that people with schizophrenia may learn best in an errorless learning environment in which they are directly given correct information and then encouraged to write it down. Asking questions that encourage guessing is not as effective in helping them retain information. Trial-and-error learning also is avoided. Visual aids can supplement verbal information, but these aids should have simple information stated in simple language. Overcrowding the visual material or incorporating images that draw attention away from important content should be avoided.
