Prospective Memory, Working Memory, Inhibitory Control and Time Reproduction in Boys with Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Age Matched Controls

Abstract

Background although prospective memory is a known challenge for children with ADHD, few research has been undertaken on the topic. In this study we analyse the relation between prospective memory, working memory, time reproduction and impulse control. Cognitive training often computer-based such as Cogmed (Klingberg et al., 2005) can improve working memory and inhibitory control and therefore also improve prospective memory functioning.
