Working Memory
Working memory is of enormous importance. Because the short term stored information controls the brain's attention and regulates one’s impulsivity. Like the whole brain this memory system is plastic and can change itself. This is also the case for hippocampus and working memory - based in the prefrontal cortex - which are crucial for learning and one’s memory. They can form new neurons throughout a lifetime. But only if you make heavy use of them.
The RoboMemo working memory training of Cogmed is intense and adapts to the client. This way the brain’s structures change. The results show an increase of memory performance, improved attention and impulse control, relief of symptoms associated with brain injury or memory disorders.
Who can benefit from this five-week training on your PC at home? Virtually all. Including the elderly, children, students, professionals or athletes.
The key breakthrough that working memory can be trained was made by the famous Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. And numerous scientific studies have shown the effectiveness of Cogmed’s RoboMemo software. After completing the course more than 80 percent of users showed significant and lasting improvements.
