The importance of working memory to classroom functioning and academic outcomes has led to the development of many interventions designed to enhance students' working memory. In this article we briefly review the evidence for the relative effectiveness of classroom and computerised working memory intervent...
How effective are working memory training interventions at improving maths in schools: a study into the efficacy of working memory training in children aged 9 and 10 in a junior school?doi:info:doi/10.1080/03004279.2016.1210192James Cunningham...
In addition to guiding Neuropsychopharmacology Working memory predicts smoking relapse J Loughead et al 1318 assessment, predictive models can identify therapeutic targets for pharmacotherapies or neuroscience-based non- pharmacologic interventions to promote smoking cessation. Regardless of therapeutic approach...
Interventions for improving working memory (WM) can be used to reduce anxiety-related symptoms. Here, we examine how WM training can impact trait anxiety and test anxiety for upcoming examinations, and the role of motivation and the sustainability of training effects were also examined. Volunteers ...
The aim of this study was to examine the extent to which working memory (WM) training in children with ADHD would diminish a core dysfunctional behavior associated with the disorder, “off-task” behavior during academic task performance. The effect of computerized WM training (adaptive) was ...
Understanding normal brain aging and developing methods to maintain or improve cognition in older adults are major goals of fundamental and translational neuroscience. Here we show a core feature of cognitive decline—working-memory deficits—emerges from disconnected local and long-range circuits instantia...
In addition, a recent systematic review and meta-analysis of 27 interventions that compared a video-games playing group with a no-game control group revealed a small effect in memory but no effects in other cognitive functions (Mansor, Chow, & Halaki, 2020). The authors of this review ...

(MacKinnon2014), processing each memory in turn. During this intervention, the therapist noticed that Chantal was holding onto her memories and not letting them go. After each memory had been processed, so that it no longer caused such a high level of activation in Chantal’s body, the ...
Adaptive working memory updating training using neutral, but not negative, stimuli resulted in significant improvements to working memory updating for negative material, as assessed using an unpractised task, and significant reductions in susceptibility to state RNT. These findings demonstrate proof-of-...
