Is Your Working Memory Working For You?

Working memory is an executive function that allows the brain to store information for a short time in order to manipulate the information to complete tasks, solve problems, and answer questions. Have you ever walked into a room and wondered what you came there for? Is it difficult to pay attention in meetings or on conference calls? Do you or your child struggle to stay focused and often find your mind wandering?

These can be signs of poor working memory. Working Memory Training is an evidence-based program that helps adolescents and adults sustainably improve attention by training their working memory. Computerized training programs based on strong scientific research delivered under the supervision of a qualified Coach. The best part is that this program has been developed in a way that lets you do it from the convenience of your own home or office.

The complete program includes:

• An initial interview
• An in-person or video start-up session
• Five weeks of training with weekly coach calls.
• A wrap-up meeting with coach
• A six-month follow-up interview

Is it right for you? Research has shown that adults who have poor working memory can experience difficulties staying focused, can be forgetful, or often complain of “brain fog”. As one would assume, this may impact job performance, social interactions, ability to plan projects, or complete multiple tasks. Have you found yourself looking for a way to improve your focus, attention, or memory and nothing seems to help?

Working memory coaching can lead to significant improvements in attention, impulse control, social skills, and concentration.
