One point of view about ADHD is that at least part of it is because your 'working memory' is a bit smaller than other people's. If we could do a bit of brain training to make our working memories better we could overcome some of the problems of ADD. Generally this hasn't been thought possible but I heard a radio programme today that suggests it might be possible. The programme doesn't mention ADD as such, but if it works for kids and their test results, there is no reason why it shouldn't work for us too. Anyway, have a listen to the programme: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00p66f8#synopsisThere are links to the scientist's web site with tests you can do and all sorts.

No reason why it wouldn't work for adults.
It might not work as well, but then it might work better. Only one way to find out.
