Cogmed Working Memory Training is a comprehensive 5-week home-based programme designed to help children, adolescents and adults with attention deficits by training and increasing their working memory capacity. Through rigorous and sustained mental exercises, working memory can be trained and the results are significant improvements in attention and related cognitive abilities. Until recently, Cogmed training has only been available in the US, Canada, and Europe. Hong Kong has become the third Asian country, after Japan and Singapore, to offer Cogmed training. Clinically-proven results demonstrate that after training, users improve their ability to concentrate, control impulsive behavior and better utilize complex reasoning skills. In the end, in the case of children training, better academic performance can be achieved especially in math and reading. Working Memory Working memory is a function of the brain that helps us temporarily store and manage the information required to carry out complex cognitive tasks such as learning, reasoning and comprehension. Working memory keeps information in the mind for a short time, typically for a few seconds, in order to use that information for thinking, In daily life, we use working memory for a number of tasks such as remembering instructions, solving problems, controlling impulses and focusing attention. Studies show working memory is related to attention deficits and academic performance Program Description Cogmed Working Memory Training soft-ware has been specifically created for people with attention deficits by game developers working closely with psychologists and medical researchers. Cogmed RM® and Cogmed QM® consist of active engaging exercises that automatically increase in difficulty as the participant improves. Unlike other software-based training programs, a Cogmed Coach monitors results during the training and provides encouragement and feedback to the child. What The Research Shows Published, peer-reviewed and controlled clinical studies have demonstrated that, upon completion of Cogmed Working Memory Training, 80% of participants have significantly improved their ability to concentrate and use complex reasoning skills.
