Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18-45 who are native French speakers, with or without schizophrenia, and who can provide informed consent.

Probably not a fit

Individuals outside the age range, non-French speakers, or those unable to consent or meet the DSM-5 criteria may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This project aims to create a source-monitoring task that works with neuroimaging and is suitable for French speakers. The work consists of validating verbal materials and then testing the task in two steps. Interventions involve questionnaires and cognitive tests, with participants including adults 18-45 who are native French speakers. The study compares healthy controls to individuals with schizophrenia, following DSM-5 criteria.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the task could provide a reliable way to study source memory in French-speaking clinical and healthy populations, potentially informing future research and therapies.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown that task-based methods can measure source-monitoring, though adapting them for French-speaking populations and neuroimaging is relatively novel.
