Effect of Neuroscience-Based Cognitive Skill Training on Growth of Cognitive Deficits Associated with Learning Disabilities in Children Grades 2—4

 Abitbol Avtzon and Sarah, Ph.D., Walden University

This experimental study examined the effectiveness of a specific 12-week neuroscience-based, cognitive-skills computer-training program on the cognitive processing of 40 elementary students in grades 2-4 with specific learning disabilities (SLD). The study results indicated the experimental group had significantly increased performance over the control group in every skill area examined - cognitive growth (GIA), executive functions (EF), visual working memory (GV), verbal working memory (WM), processing speed (Gs), short term memory (Gsm), and predicted achievement scores (Brief Reading, Brief Math).
