A Controlled Trial of Working Memory Training for Children and Adolescents with ADHD
Abstract
This study assessed the efficacy of a 5-week, intensive working memory training program for 52 children and adolescents (ages 7-17) who had Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and other comorbid diagnoses. This study provided a treatment replication since the waitlist control group also completed training and was included in the follow-up data analyses. Parents and teachers completed paper-and-pencil measures of working memory, executive functioning, and ADHD symptoms at baseline, posttreatment, and 4-month follow-up. Parent ratings indicated that participants improved on inattention, overall number of ADHD symptoms, initiation, planning/organization, and working memory. Teacher ratings approached significance at posttreatment and at 4-month follow-up on and Initiate scale. Working memory training appears promising as an intervention in improving executive functioning and ADHD symptoms.

“However, we do note that the Beck et al. [38] study was similar to ours in that many of their participants were prescribed stimulant medication.”

“A recent study of 52 children with ADHD in a wait list, controlled trial found significant improvement on parent-rated measures of executive functioning, the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF), immediately after training and at a 4-month follow-up [38].”

“Although prior studies have found that WM training led to significant improvements on the CPRS-R [33,38] short form, we found that both our placebo and active treatment group improved, without significant differences between the groups, when we administered the CPRS long form.”

“Other differences between our sample and those of Beck et al. [38] and Klingberg et al. [33] may have also affected the sensitivity to detect change on the parent rating scales.”

“Moreover, these improvements were also observed in terms of parent-rated symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity and many gains were maintained for three months (e.g., Klingberg et al., 2005; see also Beck et al., 2010).”
From Executive control training from middle childhood to adolescence (2014) · cites this paper as Beck et al., 2010
In the citing paper
“Although improvements in planning/organizing skills have been shown by other computerized neurocognitive training programs as well [39,59], this serious game is unique because it elicits its effects by promoting behavioral strategies instead of training executive functions by offering repeated cognitive exercises.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
