What is Working Memory Training?

The programs we offer include Cogmed Working Memory Training™.  Cogmed's training is built around three easy-to-use and age-specific software applications.  Cogmed JM is for pre-school age children.  Cogmed RM targets school age children.  The QM program is for adults. 

The Research:  Studies consistently show that most people with attention deficits have a working memory deficit.  That holds true for attention problems due to ADHD, traumatic brain injury or normal aging.  It is also true for milder concentration problems.  Research also shows that deficits in working memory are related to poor academic or professional performance.

Benefits of Training:  Working memory is critical for focusing, appropriately shutting out distractions, and for complex thinking.  Improved working memory capacity generalizes to improved attention and impulse control.  Eight out of ten users who complete training show measurable effects!

Benefits for children:  Parents and teachers report improved social skills, taking initiative,    remembering instructions and completing assignments more independently.  The objective is better academic results, particularly in reading comprehension an match.

Benefits for adults:  By training your working memory you will be better able to stay focused, ignore distractions, plan next steps, remember instructions, start and finish tasks.  The objective is better professional performance and attentional stamina.
