Distinct transfer effects of training different facets of working memory capacity.
TLDR
The impact of working memory training on a broad set of transfer tasks was examined in this article, where three groups of participants were compared to an active control group practicing perceptual matching tasks.About:

Conclusions about interventions, programs, and approaches for improving executive functions that appear justified and those that, despite much hype, do not.
Adele Diamond,Daphne S. Ling +1 more
TL;DR: It is predicted that besides directly train EFs, the most successful approaches for improving EFs will also address emotional, social, and physical needs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Working Memory Training Does Not Improve Performance on Measures of Intelligence or Other Measures of "Far Transfer": Evidence From a Meta-Analytic Review.
TL;DR: It is concluded that working memory training programs appear to produce short-term, specific training effects that do not generalize to measures of “real-world” cognitive skills.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of individual differences in cognitive training and transfer
TL;DR: The present study resolves some of the methodological limitations of previous studies and also considers individual differences as potential explanations for the differing transfer effects across studies, and observes that transfer to a composite measure of fluid reasoning resulted from both WM interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Working memory and second language comprehension and production: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of data from 79 samples involving 3,707 participants providing 748 effect sizes indicates that working memory is positively associated with both L2 processing and proficiency outcomes, with an estimated population effect size of .255.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects and mechanisms of working memory training: a review.
TL;DR: This review suggests two general mechanisms mediating transfer effects that are (or are not) observed after working memory training: enhanced working memory capacity, enabling people to hold more items in working memory than before training, or enhanced efficiency using theWorking memory capacity available.

TL;DR: The results suggest that it is important to recognize both the unity and diversity ofExecutive functions and that latent variable analysis is a useful approach to studying the organization and roles of executive functions.

Mixed-effects modeling with crossed random effects for subjects and items
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an introduction to mixed-effects models for the analysis of repeated measurement data with subjects and items as crossed random effects, and a worked-out example of how to use recent software for mixed effects modeling is provided.
