TLDR
The findings suggest that training on an interference control task leads to higher electrophysiological activity in the parietal cortex, which may be related to improvements in processing speed, attentional control, or both.About:

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
Improving fluid intelligence with training on working memory: a meta-analysis
TL;DR: It is concluded that short-term cognitive training on the order of weeks can result in beneficial effects in important cognitive functions as measured by laboratory tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Working memory training revisited: A multi-level meta-analysis of n-back training studies
TL;DR: It is concluded that a substantial part of transfer following WM training with the n-back task is task-specific and the implications of the results to WM training research are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
There is no convincing evidence that working memory training is effective: A reply to Au et al. (2014) and Karbach and Verhaeghen (2014)
TL;DR: It is concluded that there is no convincing evidence that working memory training produces general cognitive benefits and meta-analyses producing misleading results are presented.

Diffusion markers of dendritic density and arborization in gray matter predict differences in intelligence.
Erhan Genç,Christoph Fraenz,Caroline Schlüter,Patrick Friedrich,Rüdiger Hossiep,Manuel C. Voelkle,Josef M. Ling,Onur Güntürkün,Onur Güntürkün,Rex E. Jung +9 more
TL;DR: NODDI, a diffusion MRI technique, is used to confirm that neurite density and arborization are inversely related to measures of intelligence, and suggests that the neuronal circuitry associated with higher intelligence is organized in a sparse and efficient manner, fostering more directed information processing and less cortical activity during reasoning.

EEGLAB: an open source toolbox for analysis of single-trial EEG dynamics including independent component analysis.
Arnaud Delorme,Scott Makeig +1 more
TL;DR: EELAB as mentioned in this paper is a toolbox and graphic user interface for processing collections of single-trial and/or averaged EEG data of any number of channels, including EEG data, channel and event information importing, data visualization (scrolling, scalp map and dipole model plotting, plus multi-trial ERP-image plots), preprocessing (including artifact rejection, filtering, epoch selection, and averaging), Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and time/frequency decomposition including channel and component cross-coherence supported by bootstrap statistical methods based on data resampling.

The unity and diversity of executive functions and their contributions to complex "Frontal Lobe" tasks: a latent variable analysis.
Akira Miyake,Naomi P. Friedman,Michael J. Emerson,Alexander H. Witzki,Amy Howerter,Tor D. Wager +5 more
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.
Book
Statistical Methods for Psychology
TL;DR: The Statistical Methods for Psychology as discussed by the authors survey statistical techniques commonly used in the behavioral and social sciences, especially psychology and education, and is suitable for either a one-term or a full-year course, and has been used successfully for both.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing the Efficiency and Independence of Attentional Networks
TL;DR: A study with 40 normal adult subjects indicates that the ANT produces reliable single subject estimates of alerting, orienting, and executive function, and further suggests that the efficiencies of these three networks are uncorrelated.
Journal Article
Standardized low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA): technical details.
TL;DR: The technical details of the method are presented, allowing researchers to test, check, reproduce and validate the new method, and a solution reported here yields images of standardized current density with zero localization error.
