Changes in cortical dopamine D1 receptor binding associated with cognitive training
Researchers at the Karolinska Institute, including Fiona McNab, PhD, and Torkel Klingberg, MD, PhD, show for the first time that cognitive exercise produces chemical changes in the brain. The research provides new insights into the brain’s core processes.
Training and transfer effects of executive functions in preschool children
Lisa Thorell, PhD, finds that preschool children with healthy working memory capacity can increase their working memory through training. These improvements were then shown to transfer to strengthen visual and auditory attention, providing evidence that unlike many forms of cognitive training, working memory training benefits other parts of the mind.
Adults of all ages see gains after training working memory
Helena Westerberg, PhD, demonstrates for the first time that working memory training is effective for adults of all ages with healthy working memory. Most notably, adults between the ages of 60 – 70 years of age increased their working memory to “regain” the working memory capacity of someone between 20 – 30 years of age.
The brain uses working memory to filter out irrelevant information
Fiona McNab, a researcher at the Karolinska Institute, reveals that the areas in the brain associated with working memory were particularly active before a subject successfully filtered out irrelevant information.
Computerized working memory training after stroke – A pilot study
Helena Westerberg, PhD, a researcher at the Karolinska Institute, demonstrates that working memory training improves focus in adult victims of stroke and initiates positive improvements in the recovery process.
Changes in cortical activity after training of working memory – a single-subject analysis
A recent study by Olesen, Westerberg and Klingberg [Olesen P, Westerberg H, Klingberg T. Increased prefrontal and parietal brain activity after training of working memory. Nat Neurosci 2004;7:75–9] showed that group analysis of brain activity data show increases in prefrontal and parietal cortices after WM training. In the present study we performed single-subject analysis of the changes in brain activity after five weeks of training.
Computerized training of working memory in children with ADHD – A randomized, controlled, trial
A multi-center study conducted by Swedish neuroscientist Torkel Klingberg, MD, PhD, confirms that kids with ADHD experience significant improvements after working memory training and indicates that these improvements transfer to real-life benefits.
Poor working memory widens gap between kids with ADHD and their peers
Researchers at the Karolinska Institute demonstrate that a gap in visual spatial working memory exists between boys with ADHD and their peers. The research found that this gap increases over time, exposing debilitating attention problems among those with ADHD.
Increased prefrontal and parietal activity after training of working memory
Researchers at the Karolinska Institute use fMRI scans to capture increased brain activity in adults following Cogmed Working Memory Training.
Training of working memory in children with ADHD
A Swedish research team at the renowned Karolinska Institute reveal for the first time that working memory can be improved through computerized training. Led by neuroscientist Torkel Klingberg, MD, PhD, the findings challenged for the first time the long-held assumption that working memory is a fixed characteristic, unable to be changed.
