Aims Recent reviews yield contradictory findings regarding the efficacy of working memory
training and transfer to untrained tasks. We reviewed working memory updating (WMU) …

The extent to which working memory training improves performance on untrained tasks is
highly controversial. Here we address this controversy by testing the hypothesis that far …

This article presents a systematic review of studies on cognitive training programs based on
artificial cognitive systems and digital technologies and their effect on executive functions …

Extensive research has shown that differences in cognitive ability predict working memory
(WM) performance. However, strategy use may also explain individual differences in WM …

Working memory (WM) can be improved by cognitive training. Numerous studies examined
neural mechanisms underlying WM training, although with differing conclusions. Therefore …

Working memory (WM) training typically leads to large performance gains in the practiced
tasks, but transfer of these gains to other contexts is elusive. One possible explanation for …

Introduction: It has been demonstrated that children with attention deficit and hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) have impairments in working memory (WM), and particularly its …

This study analyzed the potential transfer effects on reading comprehension skills of two
different training programs administered to 9-to 10-year-old children attending fourth grade …

It is debated whether training with a working memory (WM) task, particularly n-back, can
improve general WM and reasoning skills. Most training studies found substantial …

In the current longitudinal study, we investigated the development of working memory in
musically trained and nontrained children and adolescents, aged 9–20. We measured …
