Open Access paper from the JCPP – “The picture is clear that the large majority of the cognitive training paradigms that are currently being distributed commercially for children with ADHD on a large scale are not backed-up by a sufficient evidence base. This does not suggest that further treatment development research is not warranted as we believe that this line of research may one day lead to effective treatments.” Tycho J.
