Not really, but it seems to have more of a preventative than a boosting effect. In healthy people, it might not do much.
Does ginkgo biloba improve cognitive function?
A very large study including 3,500 volunteers aged between 35 and 80 years found no association between moderate doses of Ginkgo or ginseng and performance on learning and memory (link). A combination of Ginkgo and Bacopa monniera was also ineffective in healthy subjects (link). However, higher doses of Ginkgo (360 mg) and Panax ginseng (400 mg) may be needed to see cognitive benefits (link).
A reanalysis of three studies concluded that 120 mg of Ginkgo biloba modestly improves memory performance but may have a detrimental effect on the speed of attention task (link). However, a review of 15 randomized clinical trials suggests that several of the studies had methodological flaws, and that neither acute nor long-term administration has been shown to improve cognitive function in healthy young people (link).
