For Children & Adults
Cogmed is a scientifically proven training program recommended for children and adults with attention and working memory problems. The training is conducted under a supervision of a licensed psychologist.
Cogmed is offered for school-age children (RM module) and adults (QM module). It has been effectively used with the general population as well as in individuals with ADHD, working memory deficits due to learning disability, cochlear implants, stroke, acquired brain injury, etc. If you or your child have difficulty concentrating, ignoring irrelevant information, holding several chunks of information in mind, planning and organizing, getting started and staying on task, then Cogmed training can be helpful in resolving these issues. We have many years of experience working with children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and memory training has proven to be especially effective for ADHD children and young adults.
Recent metanalysis (based on 36 research studies) published in "Nature" magazine by European ADHD Guidelines Group (EAGG) suggests that Cogmed training can lead to significant improvement in ADHD-related attention symptoms.[Westwood et al. 2023]

SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN
ADULTS
Cogmed is offered for school-age children (RM module) and adults (QM module). It has been effectively used with the general population as well as in individuals with ADHD, working memory deficits due to learning disability, cochlear implants, stroke, acquired brain injury, etc. If you or your child have difficulty concentrating, ignoring irrelevant information, holding several chunks of information in mind, planning and organizing, getting started and staying on task, then Cogmed training can be helpful in resolving these issues. We have many years of experience working with children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and memory training has proven to be especially effective for ADHD children and young adults.
Research indicates that among the children and adults who complete Cogmed Working Memory Training 80% experience significant improvements in their working memory and attention, which often reflects in their academic and professional performance. Cogmed is a proven working memory training system and its effectiveness is backed by over 30 independent, controlled research studies done at leading universities around the world.
Several empirical studies suggest that Cogmed-induced increases in working memory capacity can also be accompanied by improvements in fluid intelligence (

[Jaeggi et al., 2011]
and
[Klingberg et al., 2005]
), reading comprehension (

[Dahlin, 2010]
), math competence
[Holmes, Gathercole, & Dunning, 2009]
, and ADHD symptoms (

and
[Klingberg et al., 2005]
).
The training is only available through professional channels and is delivered through a worldwide network of Qualified Cogmed Practices. The training is always led by a Cogmed Qualified Coach who works with the user to structure training and ensure the proper use of the program to achieve the best possible results. The training is supervised by a Qualified Assurance Person (a psychologist or psychiatrist) who determines the suitability of the training for each client and ensures adherence to the guidelines.
The Cogmed training method consists of 25 computerized training sessions, each 30-45 minutes long. Each session consists of a selection of various tasks that target the different aspects of working memory. The training is done on a computer with the assistance of a Training Aid (for children) and a Cogmed Coach. The training program is five weeks long with five sessions every week. During training, the user's performance is tracked online and can be viewed by the user and his/her Cogmed Coach who communicates with the user throughout the five weeks to assist him/her through the program. It is a rigorous and effective program designed to improve working memory through intensive and systematic training.
Cogmed course was built in collaboration with professional game developers, so it combines cognitive neuroscience with educational computer game approach. All tasks are organized as series of video game episodes focusing on different aspects of working memory.
The program is both challenging and rewarding. For the best possible training effects, sustained effort and rigorous adherence to the guidelines are necessary. The Cogmed network of professionals has a proven track record of providing clients with excellent support and results. Please contact our office if you have any further inquiries about the program.
