Objective: To understand software tasks aimed at improving cognitive abilities in school-aged children born pre-term to determine if paediatric clinic advice on manual exercises can be given if the software is inaccessible. Method: Exploration of software tasks and linking these to results of seminal experiments on cognitive ability. Outcome: It may be possible to performing some of these software tasks manually to improve working memory, however some further research on the efficacy of these techniques with school-aged children born pre-term are required.
