Abstract

Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have extensive and obvious working memory deficits, which affect their symptom development and performance in reasoning, organizational planning, selective attention, and other aspects. Therefore, the training of working memory is of substantial significance for ADHD children. This review focuses on the domestic and foreign studies of working memory training in recent years, summarizes its theoretical basis, executive function and behavioral efficacy, and reviews the limitations.

Key words
