Study Summary
There is evidence both that computer-administered cognitive training can improve ADHD working memory deficits and that this type of training in non-ADHD enhances normal working memory ability by altering brain activity in prefrontal cortex and the parietal lobe. However, no study has characterized brain activity changes following working memory training in ADHD to understand what neural changes occur when cognitive deficits are remedied. This R21 exploratory study will examine the neural basis of cognitive training treatment gains in working memory, ADHD symptoms, and various other executive abilities. We will test the hypothesis that working memory training increases frontoparietal brain activation and examine other regions to see if there is any evidence for "neural compensation" (i.e., engagement of brain regions after training that are not normally recruited for task performance).
