“…Working memory is thought to mediate the association between mood and negative self-concept ( 21 ). Working memory training is considered effective for emotional regulation in the treatment of patients with PTSD ( 42 ). Affective dysregulation and negative self-concept are the main symptoms of C-PTSD.…”

Introduction: Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) is characterized by the typical symptoms of PTSD, in addition to affective dysregulation, negative self-concept, and disturbances in interpersonal relationships. Children and adolescents with C-PTSD have been reported to have deficits in emotional and cognitive functions. We hypothesized that the following are associated with the severity of C-PTSD symptoms: (1) adolescents with C-PTSD who show deficits in emotional perception and cognitive functions, including executive function and attention; and (2) deficits in neurocognitive functions.Methods: Information on 69 adolescents with PTSD, aged 10–19 years, was gathered from seven shelters. All participants were assessed using complete clinical scales, including the C-PTSD Interview and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales, and neurocognitive function tests, including the emotional perception, mental rotation, and modified Tower of London tests.Results: Adolescents with C-PTSD were more likely to have a history of sexual assault, dissociation, and self-harm than those with PTSD. The total and subscale scores of the C-PTSD Interview Scale in adolescents with C-PTSD were higher than that in adolescents with PTSD. In addition, neurocognitive functions, including emotional perception, attention, and working memory, were correlated with the severity of C-PTSD symptoms.Discussion: Adolescents with C-PTSD experienced more serious clinical symptoms and showed more deficits in neurocognitive functions than adolescents with PTSD. Clinicians should pay careful attention toward the emotional and neurocognitive functions when assessing and treating patients with C-PTSD.

“…The heterogeneity of training strategies used in previous studies may itself reflect a lack of understanding of the mechanisms that underlie the response (or lack thereof) to cognitive interventions. (von Bastian and Oberauer, 2014;Barkus, 2020;Dentz et al, 2020). Awareness of the role of these factors may help optimise CCT strategies in the future.…”

“…Several factors are known to influence the outcomes of CCT interventions, including characteristics of the training plan (such as the intensity, duration, adaptivity of the training task), as well as individual differences in age, cognitive abilities, biological factors, personality factors, motivational factors, and emotional factors (von Bastian and Oberauer, 2014 ; Barkus, 2020 ; Dentz et al, 2020 ). Awareness of the role of these factors may help optimise CCT strategies in the future.…”

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders among children. Working memory deficits underlie many of the behavioural symptoms of ADHD. Alongside psychostimulant medications, strategies to improve working memory may play an important adjuvant role in the management of ADHD. In this study, we review the role of working memory deficits in ADHD, the evidence surrounding working memory training strategies in the management of the condition, and the factors affecting the success of these strategies in alleviating ADHD symptoms. More specifically, we review several non-pharmacological interventions that target working memory deficits in ADHD, with special emphasis on cognitive working memory training. We conclude that the development of evidence-based interventions such as computerised cognitive training (CCT) could provide an alternative or adjunct to the use of psychostimulants, especially in cases where side effects are a major issue.
