| Cogmed
is not a product. It is a robust
service delivered by highly trained
professionals:
Each
Cogmed practice is lead by a
carefully chosen licensed
psychologist or physician. The
program is challenging and
rewarding, and for the best possible
training effects, sustained effort
is necessary. Completing the
training effectively requires
observation, feedback and support
throughout the training process.
Training therefore, is not hit or
miss. It is this rigorous attention
and continuing contact that provide
unbelievably high success rates
outside of the lab. CWMT is an
evidence-based service born of
neuroscience that changes key
cognitive capacities of the human
brain. Because Cogmed
is not suitable for everyone, an hour
long screening is conducted in addition
to other measures when called for.
Cogmed
is
fundamental cognitive training, not skills
learning:
Cogmed
does
not teach new skills. It helps create a
platform for learning skills. The
concept of neuroplasticity, the idea
that the brain can reorganize itself and
change, is what allows Cogmed to
effectively change the way the brain
functions to perform at its maximum
capacity. There are many training
programs on the market for various
skills such as reading, math, or
time management.
Cogmed acts on a fundamental
level. Once working memory has improved,
acquiring new skills is suddenly much
more accessible. The Cogmed program
delivers substantial and lasting
benefits.
Access
to
the Cogmed Training Web:
Both
the
user and the Cogmed professional
review and monitor the results of
each day’s training, using our
online system. In addition, there
is weekly phone contact.
Continued
Contact:
One
to
two months after the training is
completed, the Cogmed professional
summarizes the training with
the user and provides feedback data
from rating scales and the Cogmed
Training Web. Cogmed documents
training
effects with the user once more at
six months when the effects are
likely to peak.
Cogmed
Extension
Training:
When
the
intensive five week training is
completed, the user has access to 100
training sessions with the software
during the following 12 months.
Solid
research:
A
new category of interventionhas been
developed, that is not
a complimentary or an alternative
therapy. Cogmed is as new as
stimulants were in 1937. It
is founded on on peer-reviewed, published
research by leading scientists. No
other attention training product can match
the research behind Cogmed.
