Results indicated that medication treatment improved performance on visuo-spatial WM, but not on verbal short-term memory, visuo-spatial short-term memory, or verbal working memory. In contrast, working memory training led to significant gains on all 4 memory tasks and moved children’s performance into the average range. Follow-up data collected 6 months later indicated that training gains in working memory had persisted.]]> http://www.cogmed.com/working-memory-deficits-can-be-overcome-impacts-of-training-and-medication-on-working-memory-in-children-with-adhd/feed 0 http://www.cogmed.com/training-of-wm-for-adults-with-acquired-brain-injury http://www.cogmed.com/training-of-wm-for-adults-with-acquired-brain-injury#comments Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:58:23 +0000 Cogmed http://cogmed.com/?p=870 Working memory impairment is one of the most common symptoms after acquired brain injury.
