Fredrik Köhler contemplates the many forces vying for our attention, and considers the consequences of our fixation on instant gratification.
"She was able to do things that six weeks before she'd simply not been able to do."
Fredrik Köhler, Cogmed Applications Coordinator, reflects on the nature of attention.
Dr. Arthur Lavin reflects on his decades log experience as a Cogmed provider: "We saw student after student complete the training and find that they could now better manage their lives. They got homework done with much less trouble, improved their school performance, and reduced their issues with daily routines. "
Joanne Thornton, a former Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) and trained dyslexia teacher, has been a Cogmed provider for over 8 years. In this interview, she shares some of her client success stories and describes why Cogmed is an intervention everyone could benefit from.
While research has shown that ADHD and working memory are inexorably related, we also know that attention and working memory are crucial to effective learning. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for remediating ADHD symptoms, but the one I’ve found worked best in my 30 years of practice was Cogmed.
Four of our top coaches describe the importance of working memory, and how Cogmed can improve it.
Working memory capacity is an important factor in a child’s development, largely defining the child’s ability for controlled attention, and influencing outcomes in other areas such as academic performance. One in six children lags three or more years behind in working memory development, and the chances of ever catching up entirely are small.
"Out of all the interventions we've done so far, this is the only one where we've seen meaningful change in our child's functioning."
Professor Torkel Klingberg, Cogmed's Founder and Chief Science Officer, shares insights from the last 20 years of research into cognitive training.
Three of our top providers share why they use Cogmed as part of their clinical practice.
Dr. Alyson Aviv shares how Cogmed helped one of her clients increase academic performance.
Different ways of asking whether “cognitive training works” have haunted educators, clinical psychologists, and neuroscientists alike for decades. The most recent research studies, however, make promising contributions to the field by covering a broader set of outcome variables, longer time spans, and larger populations than ever studied before.
