This is why I love working to develop working memory with our students. There was a significant treatment effect for non-trained tasks measuring visuo-spatial and verbal working memory, response inhibition and complex reasoning. Three months after the intervention, on average more than 90% of the training effect for the working memory tasks remained. Parent ratings showed significant reduction in symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity, both post-intervention and at follow-up. Combined ratings from teachers and parents showed significant reduction of symptoms related to inattention post-intervention (1 SD reduction in scores, 0.9 SD at follow-up). These results thus confirmed the findings from the first study. Moreover, they showed that the very symptoms that define ADHD decreased (Klingberg et al., 2005). cogmed/training-of-working-memory
