How Cogmed Works

Attention and concentration problems typically stem from a deficit in one’s working memory. Causes of attention deficits may include ADHD, brain injury, side effects of aging, and memory overload.

To address working memory deficits, Cogmed is targeted to help three specific types of clients:

Pre-school

School age
Cogmed training can enhance working memory to improve school age children’s ability to read, solve math problems, plan assignments or projects, and stay engaged in conversation.

Several studies show improved mental stamina leading to improved academic performance as a result of Cogmed training exercises.
