Initiative Description: Students were pre-tested using the Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning-2 (WRAML-2). Cognitive training was administered via Captain’s Log, an adaptive computerized cognitive training program. Training occurred during the school day via a pull-out approach with all training supervised by the school-staff in a self-contained room on campus. Post-test measures included the WRAML-2.

Study Results: Improved working memory. Students made significant gains in both working memory and encoding abilities with small to large effect sizes.
