Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive training leads to sustained enhancement of poor working memory in children
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether these problems can be overcome by a training program designed to boost working memory, and found that common impairments in working memory and associated learning difficulties may be overcome with behavioral treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is indicated that the WM impairments in children with ADHD can be differentially ameliorated by training and by stimulant medication.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This meta‐analysis reinforces the efficacy of using MBIs for improving the mental health and wellbeing of youth as assessed using the gold standard RCT methodology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does working memory training lead to generalized improvements in children with low working memory? A randomized controlled trial.
TL;DR: This first randomized controlled trial with low working memory children investigated whether the benefits of training extend beyond standard working memory tasks to other more complex activities typical of the classroom in which working memory plays a role, as well as to other cognitive skills and developing academic abilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Working memory training involves learning new skills.
TL;DR: It is suggested that development of new routines depends on general cognitive resources and that they can only be applied to other similarly-structured tasks.
