What is working memory?

Working memory is the cognitive function responsible for keeping information online, manipulating it, and using it in your thinking (typically for a few seconds). It is necessary for staying focused on a task, blocking out distractions, and keeping you updated and aware about what’s going on around you.

We use our working memory constantly in daily life, helping us to perform efficiently and effectively in academic, professional, and social settings.

Cogmed training is an evidence-based, computer training program that can be effectively implemented in schools, private practice or in the health service, to improve one’s working memory capacity to be better equipped to meet daily challenges.
