Working memory training and transcranial electrical brain stimulation
Working memory training improves performance on trained and untrained working memory tasks, but there is little consistent evidence that these gains benefit everyday tasks that rely on working memory. Evidence has shown that transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) may be an effective tool for …

Development and evaluation of an adaptive working memory training intervention
Deficits in working memory (WM) functions represent one of the main causes of limited participation in daily life and impaired recovery after brain injury. Based on promising research in clinically healthy individuals, which suggest that repetitive training may improve WM performance and other …

A Randomized-Controlled Trial of Working Memory Training in Youth with ADHD
The present study investigated whether working memory training (WMT) would improve working memory (WM), planning/organization, executive functioning, attention, hyperactivity/impulsivity, and reading comprehension in individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Twenty-eight …

No tDCS Augmented Working Memory Training Benefit in Undergraduates Rewarded with Course Credit
Background: The goal of working memory (WM) training is to expand capacity of this executive function. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) paired with WM training is more consistent than either alone. We have reported that tDCS targeting frontal and/or parietal regions enhanced theta …

The effects of verbal working memory training on language comprehension in older adulthood
… changes in cognitive abilities such as working memory (WM) have a profound influence on the products of language comprehension (e.g., problem solving, learning, following instructions). At the same time, the effects of age and working memory on the moment-to-moment processes underlying …

Dose-Response Effects of Working Memory Training Among Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes
… with T1D. This study focused on the dosage of EF training and its possible effects on both cognitive and health outcomes for 47 adolescents (M= 15.4, SD =1.45) with T1D undergoing a larger adherence intervention. EF was measured by the Digit Span and Go/No-Go tests, while composite measures of T1D …

THE EFFECTS OF WORKING MEMORY TRAINING ON THE FUNCTIONAL SPECIALIZATION OF THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX
… has long been associated with the performance of working memory tasks; however the functional specialization of this area has been debated. Several studies have identified differences in stimulus property selectivity along the dorsal-ventral axis. Additionally, a proposed anterior-posterior axis …

How does practice affect working memory? : The efficacy of adaptive-difficulty working memory training programs
Working memory refers to a mental ’workbench’ whereby new or goal relevant information is held in a readily accessible state in order to achieve success with cognitive problems. Working memory has been shown to be relevant to individual differences in many aspect of cognition including fluid …

The Impact of Working Memory Training on Third-Grade Students' Reading Fluency and Reading Comprehension Performance
… current study explored the relationship between working memory (WM) and reading performance in 50 typically-developing third-grade students, as well as the effect of WM-training on their WM, reading fluency, and reading comprehension skills. Half of the sample was randomly assigned to the …

Cognitive therapy, working memory training, and the treatment of Methamphetamine Use Disorder - a functional MRI study
… use has been linked with neural dysfunction and working memory deficits. Although current treatments have shown limited efficacy in addressing MUD, recent evidence indicates the potential of utilizing tailored brief cognitive therapy programs and working memory training to improve outcomes. The …

The effect of working memory training on executive function in reduced-obese women: implications for long-term weight loss maintenance (the mind the gap 2 study)
… in the long term. Evidence suggests that working memory (WM) plays a key role in self-regulation and executive control, which is vital in overcoming these compensatory responses to weight loss. The current study therefore aimed (1) to identify the compensatory responses that occur with …

Working Memory in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Trauma Cue Reactivity
… diagnosis, patients frequently present with working memory impairments. Working memory training has been established as an effective intervention to reduce posttraumatic stress symptoms. Working memory is associated with posttraumatic stress disorder in that it is commonly impaired in …

Working memory and food-related decision making
… however, casts doubt over the efficacy of training inhibitory control to change eating behaviour (Chapter 2). The importance of another executive function to eating behaviour, working memory, has been less well-studied. The aim of this thesis was to assess the role of working memory in …

The Effects of Visuospatial Sequence Training with Children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
… but for cognitive functions such as sequence memory and learning ability. This study investigated a variety of cognitive functions with two major aims in mind: 1) to verify differences between children who are deaf or hard of hearing and typically hearing children on variety of cognitive …

Intrinsic functional brain connectivity in South African methamphetamine users undergoing inpatient treatment, with or without additional cognitive training
… deficits, particularly executive function (EF). Working memory (WM) training has been identified as a potential adjunct to treatment of substance use disorder (SUD) to improve EF in the hope of reducing relapse rates. Neuroimaging suggests MA alters intrinsic resting state functional connectivity …
