Teens train your brain! A mixed-methods feasibility trial of a working memory training program for adolescents from an economically disadvantaged community

= 23) uses a mixed methods approach to evaluate the implementation potential and preliminary effectiveness of a computer-based working memory training program among youth ages 12 to 16 from a very low-resource community. Participants (48% female; 100% Black) were administered tests of working memory before and after completing a working memory program or a control computer program. Results suggest youth in the active condition found the intervention to be acceptable, appropriate and enjoyable and evidenced statistically significant increases in working memory. No improvement was seen among youth in the comparison condition. Findings suggest preliminary support for implementation of this program in an impoverished urban setting.
