AB  - OBJECTIVES: Although cognitive impairment is recognized as an important clinical 
      feature of bipolar disorder, there is no standard cognitive battery that has been 
      developed for use in bipolar disorder research. The aims of this paper were to 
      identify the cognitive measures from the literature that show the greatest 
      magnitude of impairment in bipolar disorder, to use this information to determine 
      whether the Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in 
      Schizophrenia (MATRICS) Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB), developed for use in 
      schizophrenia, might be suitable for bipolar disorder research, and to propose a 
      preliminary battery of cognitive tests for use in bipolar disorder research. 
      METHODS: The project was conducted under the auspices of the International 
      Society for Bipolar Disorders and involved a committee that comprised researchers 
      with international expertise in the cognitive aspects of bipolar disorder. In 
      order to identify cognitive tasks that show the largest magnitude of impairment 
      in bipolar disorder, we reviewed the literature on studies assessing cognitive 
      functioning (including social cognition) in bipolar disorder. We further provided 
      a brief review of the cognitive overlap between schizophrenia and bipolar 
      disorder and evaluated the degree to which tasks included in the MCCB (or other 
      identified tasks) might be suitable for use in bipolar disorder. RESULTS: Based 
      on evidence that cognitive deficits in bipolar disorder are similar in pattern 
      but less severe than in schizophrenia, it was judged that most subtests 
      comprising the MCCB appear appropriate for use in bipolar disorder. In addition 
      to MCCB tests, other specific measures of more complex verbal learning (e.g., the 
      California Verbal Learning Test) or executive function (Stroop Test, Trail Making 
      Test-part B, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test) also show substantial impairment in 
      bipolar disorder. CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis reveals that the MCCB represents a 
      good starting point for assessing cognitive deficits in research studies of 
      bipolar disorder, but that other tasks including more complex verbal learning 
      measures and tests of executive function should also be considered in assessing 
      cognitive compromise in bipolar disorder. Several promising cognitive tasks that 
      require further study in bipolar disorder are also presented.
