Helping children achieve their full potential in school is of great
concern to everyone, and a number of commercial products have been
developed to try and achieve this goal.
The Cogmed Working Memory
Training program is such an example and is marketed to schools and
parents of children with attention problems caused by poor working
memory. But, does the program actually work?
The target article in the
September issue of Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition
(JARMAC) calls into question Cogmed's claims of improving working
memory and addressing underachievement due to working memory
constraints.
