Cogmed Programs

Cogmed Working Memory Training is built around three easy-to-use and age-specific program applications.

Pre-school

Younger children use their working memory for a number of things, such as focusing on and following instructions, and remaining seated to complete independent activities.

School age

Working memory is crucial for children and adolescents in school and socially. Reading, solving math problems, planning, and following a conversation all rely on working memory.

Cogmed QM
Adult

Working memory in adult and professional life is critical for challenges such as planning, focusing, resisting distraction, and meeting deadlines.

Cogmed Research

Olesen et al
Studies consistently show that most people with attention deficits have a working memory deficit. That holds true for attention problems due to ADHD, traumatic brain injury, normal aging, or general deficits from working memory overload; it is also true for milder concentration problems. Research also shows that deficits in working memory are related to poor academic or professional performance (Read Blog Post). Conversely, strong working memory capacity is closely correlated with fluid intelligence.

Proven training effects
A substantial and growing body of work documents the efficacy of Cogmed Working Memory Training. Most notably, Klingberg’s 2005 study on school age children with ADHD showed it to be effective in a placebocontrolled, multi-center trial. There were statistically and clinically significant treatment effects on non-trained measures of working memory, response inhibition and complex reasoning. 

Substantial and lasting reduction of attention problems following training-induced working memory improvements is a research breakthrough. Leading American and European research teams have now replicated the research using Cogmed products and protocol. They have presented results at several research conferences.

Cogmed Benefits

Working memory is critical for focusing, appropriately shutting out distractions, and for complex thinking. Improved working memory capacity generalizes to improved attention and impulse control. 8 of 10 users who complete training show measurable effects.
Parent and Teacher Ratings
Children - Research and clinical data show improved grades following Cogmed training. Parents and teachers also report improved social skills, taking initiative, remembering instructions, and completing assignments more independently. The objective is better academic results, particularly in reading comprehension and math.

visiospatial improvement
Adults - By training your working memory you will be better able to stay focused, ignore distractions, plan next steps, remember instructions, and start and finish tasks. The objective is better professional performance and attentional stamina.
