Cogmed Training Method
Cogmed Working Memory Training™ is an evidence-based program for helping children, adolescents and adults sustainably improve attention by training their working memory.
The complete program includes:
- Initial Interview - The Cogmed Qualified Practice will schedule a talk with the person interested in going through the program (or the parent if it is regarding a child). The likelihood of him/her benefiting from the training is evaluated. This interview can be done in person or by phone, if there is no Cogmed practice in your area.
- Start-up session - The Cogmed Coach plans and structures the training together with the user (and the parent if it is regarding a child). Can also be done as a phone meeting.
- Five weeks of training with weekly coach calls - The user is training at home and will talk with the Cogmed Coach on a weekly basis to get advice on how to get the most out of the training, feedback and motivation.
- Access to the Cogmed Training Web - Both the user and the Cogmed Coach will be able to review and monitor the results of each day's training on graphs, using an online application.
- Wrap-up session - About one month after the training is completed, the Cogmed Coach will summarize the training together with the user and give feedback from rating scales and the Cogmed Training Web.
- Six months follow-up interview - The Cogmed Coach documents training effects once again, with more time elapsed and the effects fully emerged.
- Cogmed Extension Training - When the intensive five week training is completed and the training has been wrapped-up, the user will get access to 100 sessions of training with the software, to use over a 12 month period.
