  • Central executive training platform
    Patent number: 11210967
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a central executive training (CET) platform that targets central executive processes, rather than short term memory. Central executive deficits have been linked experimentally and developmentally with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms and impairments. Unfortunately, substantial evidence indicates that conventional working memory training programs fail to improve these symptoms and impairments. This discrepancy may reflect insufficient targeting, as extant protocols focus on short term memory and do not adequately engage the specific central executive components linked with the disorder's behavioral and functional impairments.
    Type: Grant
