Does working memory training generalize ?
Recently, attempts have been made to alter the capacity of working memory (WMC) through extensive practice on adaptive working memory tasks that adjust difficulty in response to user performance. We discuss the design criteria required to claim validity as well as generalizability and how recent studies do or do not satisfy those criteria. It is concluded that, as of yet, the results are incons...
متن کاملDoes working memory training work? The promise and challenges of enhancing cognition by training working memory.
A growing body of literature shows that one's working memory (WM) capacity can be expanded through targeted training. Given the established relationship between WM and higher cognition, these successful training studies have led to speculation that WM training may yield broad cognitive benefits. This review considers the current state of the emerging WM training literature, and details both its...
متن کاملDoes working memory training promote the use of strategies on untrained working memory tasks?
Adaptive computerized training has been associated with significant enhancements in untrained working memory tasks, but the nature of the cognitive changes that underpin these improvements are not yet fully understood. Here, we investigate the possibility that training stimulates the use of memory-related strategies. In a randomized controlled trial, participants completed four tests of working...
متن کاملDoes strategy training reduce age-related deficits in working memory?
BACKGROUND Older adults typically perform worse on measures of working memory (WM) than do young adults; however, age-related differences in WM performance might be reduced if older adults use effective encoding strategies. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the current experiment was to evaluate WM performance after training individuals to use effective encoding strategies. METHODS Participants in t...
متن کاملCognitive Ability: Does Working Memory Training Enhance Intelligence?
Recent experiments in both humans and mice suggest that working memory training improves general cognitive ability. While the prospect of enhancing human and animal intelligence is enticing, several questions remain.
