Description

Our attention system has an amazing ability to sort through countless simultaneous inputs and decide what to focus on in that moment—and then the next, and the next.

Most of the time it works well and focuses on the most important input, but we all have times when we get distracted or when our attention gets stuck. ADHD, anxiety, depression, sleep deprivation, and normal aging can all affect how well attention works and how clients function in their lives.

Attention is the foundation for all other cognitive processes, so how can we improve it? New high-tech options promise to improve cognitive abilities, but do they actually work, or is it just marketing hype? Clients see the advertising, so clinicians need to know how to answer their questions. We will discuss the current state of the field of brain training, where it is going, and how to evaluate claims so you can make well-informed recommendations.
