COGNITION. Since ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ definition of dementia praecox, cognitive impairment has been considered as a core feature of schizophrenia, and subsequently extended to whole psychotic spectrum as an important pathognomonic characteristic. Cognitive deficits are indeed widespread, yet with different degrees, across psychotic disorders, with a more severe impairment found in schizophrenia than affective psychosis (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2019; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2010). Patients with psychosis tend to present lower IQ and show impairment in specific cognitive domains, such as processing speed, working and long-term memory, attention, executive function, and social cognition than non-psychotic controls (Bora et al., 2009). A body of literature has shown evidence that cognitive deficits are already present by the time of first- episode, among ultra-high risk (UHR) individuals for psychosis, and to a lesser degree among non-affected first-degree relatives of psychotic patients, thus representing indicators of vulnerability for the illness. Indeed, it has been suggested that cognitive impairment may serve as an endophenotype or intermediary phenotype (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2016; ▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2014). Twin and GWAS studies have found a significant genetic overlap between cognition and schizophrenia (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2016; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2013; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2007, 2019); providing evidence for deficits in general cognitive ability and in specific domains - such as working memory - as intermediary phenotype in psychotic disorders (▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2016; Park & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2014).

COGNITION. Three of the four tasks that were employed make up part of the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB, PAR, Inc FL 33549) (exception: Digit span). Alternative versions of each task were used across the three different conditions, (baseline, post- capsule, post-∆9-THC), except for symbol-coding. All participants encountered each version in a consistent order. For each of the three conditions, cognitive tasks were presented in the following sequence (under ∆9-THC conditions, cognitive testing began at 40 min post-∆9-THC injection). In the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Verbal Learning Task-Revised (HVLT-R) (Appendix IV), participants are tested in their immediate recall of 12 words (nouns from three taxonomic categories) after each of three learning trials. Here, delayed recall was assessed 20–25 min after the final learning trial. This is a timed pencil-and-paper task in which participants are required to translate a symbol into a corresponding digit (1–9), whilst a reference key of symbol/digit pairs remains visible (Appendix V). The digit span task (forward-condition) (Appendix VI) evaluates the capacity of working memory. Participants are tested for immediate recall of a sequence of digits; and given two attempts at each level of difficulty. In the reverse digit span condition, participants are required to recall the sequence in the reverse order, which places additional processing demands on working memory.

COGNITION. Scores on the cognitive battery at baseline, post-CBD/placebo, and post-∆9-THC are shown in Table 2.4. There was a main effect of CONDITION (F=22.64, p<0.000) but no effect of GROUP (F=0.079, p=0.78) and no interactive CONDITION×GROUP effects (F=0.92, p=0.88). Immediate recall was poorer following ∆9-THC, regardless of group. Post-hoc analysis revealed differences between post-∆9-THC and baseline performance, significantly in the placebo group (p<0.005), and at the level of a trend in the CBD group (p=0.06). Differences between post-∆9-THC and post-capsule performance were significant in the CBD group (p<0.000) and the placebo group (p<0.005). Following ∆9-THC, immediate recall was 2.9 (±5.3) and 3.6 (±4.5) items fewer in the CBD and placebo groups, respectively, compared with baseline, a non-significant between-groups difference (p=0.6), (Figure 2.4(a)).
