Thus, there is great interest in interventions that improve children's working memory, such as available working memory training programmes and understanding which children benefit most. Abbreviations ADHD attention deficit/hyperactiviy disorder CI confidence interval Grit-S short grit scale IQ intellectual quotient SD standard deviation Cognitive training programmes typically require intensive practice on challenging activities and can improve children's core cognitive abilities such as working memory for up to 6 months.[[1]] Working memory, the ability to briefly hold information in mind and work with it, is important for cognitive, behavioural and academic functioning and is more likely to be reduced in children with neurodevelopmental disorders than typically developing peers.
