Abstract
This study identified a subset of adults with serious mental illnesses who left their homes infrequently and who demonstrate significantly poorer cognitive function than those who left their homes more frequently. Spending extensive amounts of time in an unchanging environment may be a contributing factor to poor cognitive function, and a potential area for intervention.
