Research
Cogmed Working Memory Training was first developed by a team of researchers at the Karolinska Institute, working with game developers.
From its very start, Cogmed has been close to the research. And we are staying with the research, developing it further by collaborating with several leading research teams, with various specializations.
We still work closely with several teams at the Karolinska Institute, in Stockholm, Sweden. But now we also have ongoing research collaborations with leading universities across North America and Europe. For Cogmed it is critical to constantly develop the research understanding of how Cogmed training can help people with attention problems; and learn how to further improve the training.
To your right you will find references to all published work on Cogmed training, a list of ongoing research projects, and list of recent scientific presentations, made by the teams working with Cogmed.
You will also find an introduction to world of working memory training research, written by Torkel Klingberg, MD, PhD, and a Cogmed founder.

The Concept of Working Memory
Dr. Torkel Klingberg, professor of cognitive neuroscience at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, has been conducting research on working memory since the mid 90's. In his article, “The Concept of Working Memory,” Dr. Klingberg presents several models of working memory and how the concept has been debated over time. He breaks down working memory into various components and illustrates how working memory capacity can be strengthened with training.
