The Center is pleased to offer Cogmed Working Memory Training Program to children and adults who need help with focus and working memory. This program is done in your home from any computer that can connect to the internet.
Cogmed Working Memory Training is an evidence-based training program developed by leading neuroscientists to improve attention in individuals with weak working memory. Cogmed is backed by peer-reviewed, controlled research done at leading universities around the world and is proven to lead to significant, real-life improvements in 80% of users.
An individual with better working memory will experience better focus, resist distractions, and control impulses. The training benefits are comprehensive, but they all follow from increased working memory capacity. The primary objective of the training is to improve attention, but the overall effect is often described as more maturebehavior.
For children, parents report improvement in social skills, taking initiative, remembering instructions, and completing assignments independently. The goal is better academic performance, particularly in math and reading comprehension, as well as social awareness.
For adults, the effects are being able to stay focused, resist distractions, plan activities, complete tasks, and follow and contribute to complex discussions. The goal is improved professional performance and sustained attention.
