The Efficacy of Computerized Cognitive Training in Adults With ADHD: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusion: No benefits of the intervention were found relative to the control. Lack of interaction effects may be due to insufficient power, non-specific cognitive training or placebo effects. Results demonstrate some positive findings for general CCT, yet do not support the inclusion of specific higher level executive training. (Source: Journal of Attention Disorders)
