Background Information
The Cogmed Working Memory Training program was developed by a Swedish company named Cogmed. The computer software is based on a breakthrough discovery that individuals can train and improve their “working memory.” The concept of neuroplasticity was the foundation for this discovery.
Original research was conducted with stroke victims suffering from working memory deficits. After seeing significant improvements, the research team along with gamers developed various game-like memory exercises for kids. Their goal was to help children and adults with ADHD improve working memory and attention deficits by using the concepts they had success with in the original program.
