Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The children in the study, all diagnosed with dyslexia, will be divided into two subgroups (16/16 children). They are randomly allocated to either the adaptive training group or the treatment as usual control group after the baseline assessment. Both groups will meet for baseline testing and re-testing 4 weeks after completed training. Those that serve as non-trained controls will be offered to participate in training after completion of the study.
The intervention in this study aim to increase WM of children with dyslexia. We hypothesise that intensive computerized working memory training will improve reading fluency, speed and comprehension for children with dyslexia.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Working Memory Training
Behavioral: Cogmed RM working memory training. After baseline assessment participants will be randomized to active training or treatment as usual (waiting). The active group will start immediately and will have 6 weeks to perform the 25 training sessions.
Working memory Training
The child will use the computer program at home under parental supervision for 25 sessions, each lasting 30 - 45 minutes and the family has 6 weeks to complete the training. Each session consist 8 different tasks presented by an animated robot. The tasks all require the child to hold information in working memory and to manipulate the information.
Other name: Cogmed RoboMemo
Passive control group
The control group will receive "treatment as usual" (Ordinary school days, special education if normally received).
No interventions assigned to this group
