Cogmed

Cogmed Working Memory Training is an evidence-based program for helping children, adolescents and adults sustainably improve attention by training their working memory.

The complete program includes:

Initial Interview - We will schedule a talk with the person interested in going through the program (or the parent if it is regarding a child). The likelihood of him/her benefiting from the training is evaluated. This interview can be done in person or by phone.
Start-up session - We will plan and structure the training together with the user (and the parent if it is regarding a child). Can also be done as a phone meeting.
Five weeks of training with weekly coach calls - The user is training at home and will talk with the Cogmed Coach on a weekly basis to get advice on how to get the most out of the training, feedback and motivation.
Access to the Cogmed Training Web - Both the user and the Cogmed Coach will be able to review and monitor the results of each day's training on graphs, using an online application.
Wrap-up session - About one month after the training is completed, the Cogmed Coach will summarize the training together with the user and give feedback from rating scales and the Cogmed Training Web.
Six months follow-up interview - The Cogmed Coach documents training effects once again, with more time elapsed and the effects fully emerged.
Cogmed Extension Training - When the intense five week training is completed and the training has been wrapped-up, the user will get access to 100 sessions of training with the software, to use over a 12 month period.

Users and benefits

Cogmed Working Memory Training is developed to help people sustainably improve working memory and attention. Working memory is the ability to keep information in your mind for a short time, focus on a task and remember what to do next. By training your working memory, you will be better able to stay focused, ignore distractions, plan next steps, remember instructions, start and finish tasks. It is most often experienced as attention problems and is a source of poor academic and professional performance.
