Impact of Cogmed Working Memory Training on adolescents at risk for depression

Research institution: Oxford University

Researchers: Dr. Zola Mannie

Training program used in research: Cogmed RM

Status: Ongoing

Summary
Researchers at Oxford University in the United Kingdom previously found that adolescents at risk for depression also evidenced deficits in working memory. The current study will examine whether college students at risk for depression (ie., those who have parents suffering from depression) will show improved mood, self esteem, and anxiety and stress levels.
