Summary

This study examines the impact of cognitive training among participants with ADHD in Switzerland

Detailed description

The main aim of the experimental study is to investigate cognitive functioning, behavioral and neural levels in ADHD, both before and after cognitive training where there has been the addition of motivation elements. Near and far transfers effects of this new program are evaluated. For far transfers, ambulatory assessment is used to improve ecological validity. Neural activity has rarely been examined in cognitive training with ADHD participants, and that is why this study also includes FMRI measures. Long-term effects, defined as three and six months following the completion of cognitive training, are also investigated. This study focuses on children, adolescents and adults with ADHD. Indeed, cognitive training effects have been rarely studied over the lifespan.
