The impact of training of WM in the classroom – a randomized controlled trial

Research institution: University of York Researchers: Darren Dunning, Dr. Susan Gathercole, Dr. Alan Baddeley, & Dr. Joni Holmes Training program used in research: Cogmed RM Status: Ongoing Summary Researchers in the United Kingdom are examining 120 children with low working memory, ages 7-9 years old. The subjects were randomly assigned to 3 conditions: adaptive working [...]

Evaluate effectiveness of Cogmed JM with children (aged 8-12) with Down Syndrome

Research institution: Down Syndrome Education International, University of Portsmouth Researchers: Stephanie Bennett & Dr. Sue Buckley Training program used in research: Cogmed RM Status: Ongoing Summary A number of studies have provided evidence that individuals with Down Syndrome have deficits specific to the verbal memory domain. These findings suggest that Down Syndrome is associated with [...]

Working memory deficits can be overcome: Impacts of training and medication on working memory in children with ADHD

This study conducted at the University of York compared the impact of stimulant medication treatment vs. Cogmed Working Memory Training on the working memory performance and IQ of children with ADHD. 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.

Adaptive training leads to sustained enhancement of poor working memory in children

Peer reviewed research conducted at the University of York by Joni Holmes, PhD, and Susan Gathercole, a leading expert on working memory, shows that children with poor working memory can improve it through training. Additionally the study found that these children experienced significant increases in their ability to listen and retain instructions. Students also showed stronger math skills six months after training.
