Title: IMPROVING WORKING MEMORY for ADULTS WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER to ENHANCE THE CAREER COUNSELING PROCESS.
Authors: Shinaver, Charles
Abstract: Adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder struggle to acquire and maintain employment. Inattention continues to affect their functioning as adults which can be seen in more 'mind wandering' than others. Traditional treatment approaches show little evidence of improving academic or occupational functioning. The article introduces counselors to an innovative working memory intervention with the potential to enhance the career counseling process by increasing the capacity of those with ADHD to attend during counseling and on the job.
Subjects: ATTENTION-deficit disorder in adults; SHORT-term memory; VOCATIONAL guidance; EMPLOYMENT; LABOR supply
