Cogmed has made
a breakthrough discovery that children and
adults can train and improve their working
memory, a key function of the brain that
allows individuals to store information for
brief periods of time. Cogmed Working Memory
Training helps people with attention issues
improve focus, impulse control and complex
problem solving. Through a combination of
software-based woking memory exercises and
personal coaching, participants engage in a
challenging computer program at home. More
than 80 percent of those who have completed
Cogmed's rigorous and rewarding training
have demonstrated tangilbe and lasting
improvements. Cogmed's program has been
validated by high-impact research in
controlled scientific studies at Karolinska
Intstitute, a world-renowned medical
university based in Stockholm, Sweden. A
leader in the emerging field of
neurotechnology, Cogmed was founded in 2001
and is headquartered in Naperville, Ill.
Cogmed's services are provided by a growing
