Support a foundational skill

Working memory, the cognitive capacity enabling short-term retention and processing of information, is a key factor for learning success.

Students suffering from a working memory deficit often exhibit symptoms of inattention, and struggle to keep up with the demands of school. They have a hard time staying focused on the task at hand, find it difficult to parse instructions and follow through on tedious and multi-step assignments, and find organization and planning a constant challenge.

By providing Cogmed, your school can help students with working memory and attention deficits to better cope with the requirements of academic life.

Effective intervention, lasting results

With Cogmed you can offer your students an effective, non-pharmacological intervention with long lasting results.

Your students work with Cogmed’s digital training tools, on their phones, tablets or computers. You set up the training to fit your schedule, ranging from a total of five to 13 weeks of training depending on the chosen program intensity.

The program consists of a range of finely tuned exercises, which adapt dynamically to the student’s capacity and progression. This keeps them in the zone of optimal effort, which is necessary to gain the desired results.

It's in the numbers:

average reduction in learning impairment among children & adolescents with ADHD.1

of children improve in math after 5 weeks of training.2

of children improve their ability to follow instructions.2

Easy set up, flexible use

The Cogmed program is completely web-based, requiring no complicated set up or installation.

In your role as teacher and coach, you have full flexibility to tailor the training to your students' schedules, coordinate the training with any other interventions they might be involved in, and define the follow-up and evaluation activities that are relevant.

You can monitor student progress using the online Coaching Center, and download reports to include in your student files.

Choose whether to provide the training in small groups, focusing on the students who need it the most. Or, incorporate Cogmed into your school's general curriculum and give all students an opportunity to benefit from an increased working memory capacity.

Proven method, proven results

Cogmed is the most effective and well-researched digital intervention available for  improving attention and working memory. 

Scientific experiments using brain imaging techniques show how Cogmed makes use of the principles of neuroplasticity, specifically targeting the parietal and prefrontal cortices (4, 5). 

Several randomized controlled trials, carried out by independent research groups, have demonstrated the enhancement of attention (1, 6). These studies show clinically meaningful, long lasting effects using standardized rating scales. 

The effect on attention and working memory is larger than the cognitive improvement from pharmacological ADHD-treatments and improves cognition more than cardiovascular fitness training does.

"In our practice, we saw student after student go through the Cogmed program and find that they could now better manage their lives."

"I started feeling the benefits pretty quickly. I was staying engaged and focused for much longer in class, my memory was getting sharper, and that kind of brain fog that comes with a concussion was clearing up."

"Coming across this program was really a blessing, because it's hard to find
something that's as scientifically based as Cogmed is."
