Interventions

BEHAVIORALStructured Retrieval Practice (SRP)

Participants will complete self-paced practice tests for the 4 categories assigned to the SRP intervention. Specifically, the practice test will consist of 24 total questions: 6 multiple-choice questions for each of the 4-categories - 3 questions on triggers and 3 questions on symptom management. Each question will have 1 correct answer and 3 incorrect lures. The vertical order of responses on the screen will be randomized per participant. Questions will be presented in a blocked fashion such that participants will answer all 6 questions in one category (e.g., anxiety), in a random order, before moving to the next (e.g., hallucinations). After each multiple-choice answer, participants will receive detailed, corrective feedback. They will self-pace their study of feedback. Participants will complete 3 practice retrieval blocks.
