EEG alpha power during maintenance of information in working memory in adults with ADHD and its plasticity due to working memory training: A randomized controlled trial

Highlights • Randomized controlled clinical trial investigating neural changes in alpha power after working memory training. • Differences in alpha power between ADHD and non-ADHD students, and changes after treatment, were marginally significant and had low effect sizes. • Findings suggest that alp...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Randomized controlled clinical trial investigating neural changes in alpha power after working memory training. • Differences in alpha power between ADHD and non-ADHD students, and changes after treatment, were marginally significant and had low effect sizes. • Findings suggest that alpha power could not reliably distinguish between ADHD and non-ADHD, nor trace treatment effects, in the present sample.
