This proposal seeks support for a 2-year milestone-driven R61 initial test of target engagement in n=62 ADHD diagnosed adolescents randomized to a 'sham training' placebo or to train 4 times each week using 4 different EWM exercises that have been combined into the format of a typical cognitive training intervention. Exercise difficulty levels in the active intervention will increase across 5 weeks to continually challenge EWM ability. EWM training will use a novel, remotely-supervised 'at home' computerized training approach. If R61 EWM training target engagement milestones are met, a 3-year R33 phase will begin. The R33 will replicate target engagement in another randomized placebo-controlled trial of n=90 new ADHD adolescents and attempt to establish a convincing link between the hypothesized targets and ADHD symptom expression. It also will characterize ADHD brain activity or EWM ability changes relative to typical levels seen in an n=40 non-ADHD control group.
