Is it true that Computerized brain training improves attention and focus in students?
Partly. Several small studies report that computerized or eye-tracking training improved attention-related measures in specific groups such as ADHD children, brain-injured patients, and college students, while one randomized trial in stroke patients found improvements no greater than control groups. None of the retrieved items directly tests whether computerized brain training improves attention and focus in students as a general population.
