Now, they are not the only answer. I am happy to see that behavioral therapy can be as useful when appropriate. Which is not a surprise, given the growing literature on different methods of cognitive training, including therapy and working memory training like the one discussed with Notre Dame's Bradley Gibson and in our post Cognitive Neuroscience and ADD/ADHD Today.

This would probably be considered a Phase I pilot clinical trial, because the sample size is so small, and the objective of a Phase I trial is usually safety (i.e. approach is safe to use in larger population). Also there was no comparator of non-treated children, which was listed as a study limitation. Still, I was intrigued with the suggestion that plasticity and trainability of the mind opens doors to additional modes of treatment for mental health conditions. [...] [...] Alvaro Fernandez at Sharp Brains interviewed Professor Bradley Gibson about ADD/ADHD and how training the mind with a non-medication approach shows promise in increasing attention and reducing hyperactivity in 15 children.
