Cogmed Working Memory Training is not just another brain training app, it’s a clinical tool:

1. Evidence Based
   Cogmed has been evaluated in over 120 peer-reviewed articles published in scientific journals, making Cogmed the most evidence-based cognitive training programme available.

2. Lasting Change

   Cogmed doesn’t focus on teaching strategies to manage attention deficit. Cogmed is designed to support the increase in attentional capacity itself.
   Research shows these increases are sustainable over time.

3. Clinician Coaches
   Cogmed is delivered by clinical staff qualified in psychology, psychotherapy, and therapeutic counselling who are all trained to coach in the Cogmed method.
   Coaching supports motivation and compliance, necessary to achieve the desired effects.

Cogmed has an evidence base spanning over 20 years.

Proven results

Cogmed is the only digital intervention shown to improve working memory, focus and attention in everyday life.

Sustainable Effect
Peer-reviewed studies show that Cogmed training can significantly reduce cognitive impairments associated with low working memory and attentional capacity in individuals.

This applies to children and adults with ADHD. Often, the behavioural improvement brings cognitive function back into the normal range. Research shows these effects are sustainable over time.

Research shows Cogmed can help people improve working memory, focus and attention whether they have a cognitive impairment or not.

Working memory difficulties can affect people of any age and often appear in conditions such as:

• ADHD

• Stroke

• Age related cognitive decline

• Reading and spelling difficulties

• Maths difficulties

• Other conditions affecting attention and executive functioning

Improving working memory isn’t a cure, but it may help reduce some of the associated challenges and improve performance.

Each Cogmed session includes a variety of interactive exercises that automatically adjust to your performance. As your skills improve, the tasks become more demanding, keeping you challenged without becoming overwhelming.

The exercises target a range of cognitive skills, including:

👁️ Visual memory - remembering what you see

📍 Visual-spatial memory - recalling locations and spatial information

👂 Auditory memory - retaining and processing information you hear

➡️ Forward sequencing - remembering information in the order it was presented

⬅️ Backward sequencing - recalling information in reverse order

💡 Why is sequencing so important?

Many Cogmed activities involve remembering information in a particular order because this is an essential part of working memory that underpins skills such as:

• Following multi-step instructions

• Organising thoughts

• Reading and spelling

• Mental arithmetic

• Planning ahead

For people with weaker working memory, keeping information in the correct sequence can be especially challenging. Regular practice helps the brain become more efficient at managing and connecting information, making everyday learning and thinking easier.

• Approximately 5 weeks of guided training*

• Sessions completed from home

• Interactive exercises that adapt to progress

• Ongoing support from a qualified Cogmed coach

• Progress tracked throughout the programme

*Where appropriate, training can be spread over a longer period to better suit individual learning needs and schedules.

💼 Cogmed Focus

For adults or returning users who want a streamlined experience, Cogmed Focus provides the same evidence-based training without the game-style reward elements.

It's a popular choice for annual "brain tune-ups" or for those who prefer a more direct training format.

For the best experience, you'll need:

✔ A reliable internet connection

✔ A desktop or laptop computer

✔ A modern web browser

✔ A handheld mouse (recommended)

Although Cogmed can run on a range of devices, we generally recommend using a desktop or laptop computer. The larger screen and more precise controls help minimise distractions and make the training more comfortable and effective.
