The wikipedia article mentions
"Klingberg, T., Forssberg, H., & Westerberg, H. (2002). Training of working memory in children with ADHD. Journal of Clinical & Experimental Neuropsychology, 24, 781-791." as the source for information about the training.
That means that the training is possible for people with ADHD who don't function at full capacity anyway.
A lot of altanative training methods (Brainwave therapy and imagestreaming) are able to increase substancially the IQ of ADHD patients.
That doesn't necessarly mean that they have the same effect of fully functioning minds. The training could simply reduce their ADHD and produce an IQ increase by removing effects of ADHD.

Is here someone in the forum who has access to this journal and can tell us what kind of training the have used?
