Joe and I had the opportunity to attend the Cogmed Conference in Austin, Texas and talk to researchers on working memory from all over the world. The research being done is amazing and so inspiring. We are hearing gains with populations with attention issues and working memory as expected but also with students with aspergers, autism, developmental disorders, cancer survivors, and more.
