Forty-five children aged 7–10 with learning disorders were split into groups receiving LORETA neurofeedback, cognitive rehabilitation, or neither in a non-randomised trial. Children given LORETA neurofeedback showed greater working memory gains than those in cognitive rehabilitation, and the advantage held at three-month follow-up.
