Working memory refers to storing and manipulating information to achieve a specific goal or completing a task at a high cognitive level. This component is part of the executive functions and is essential for daily life. A quantitative systematic review aims to identify the intervention methods currently developed to rehabilitate and improve working memory. The articles were obtained from SCOPUS, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Scielo databases. Initially, 550 articles were found, and after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 65 articles were selected and included in the data extraction process and used for the descriptive statistical analysis. The main results found that computerized treatments prevailed in 41 studies, transcranial electrical stimulation in 16, and sport and cognitive stimulation in two, respectively. These findings will be analyzed to develop new proposals that can contribute to clinical practice and offer mental health professionals a selection of intervention methods helpful in carrying out intervention plans aimed at working memory deficits.
