Cognitive Training in ADHD Children: Less to It than Meets the Eye.

Abikoff, Howard

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v24 n4 p205-09 Apr 1991

This review of 28 studies involving children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder concludes that there is little empirical support for cognitive training's clinical utility. The paper discusses cognitive training's efficacy as a single intervention and as an adjunct to stimulant treatment, and its impact on cognitive, academic, and behavioral functioning. (Author/JDD)
