Effects of working memory training on reading in children with special needs (2011, background): “This confirms the central role of working memory capacity for academic achievement (e.g., Holmes et al., 2009; Pickering & Gathercole, 2004), and suggests that evaluation of working memory capacity in young children and its training may yield significant reward for children with special educationa”
The Routledge handbook of English language teaching (2018, background): “The point here is that often learner errors are not aberrations but a part of the natural ecology of language, according to the systems view.”
Working Memory Training and the Effect on Mathematical Achievement in Children with Attention Deficits and Special Needs (2013, background): “, Ericsson & Kintsch, 1995; Ericsson, 2010) and that WM training seems to affect untrained skills in children and adults (Caviola et al., 2009; Thorell et al., 2008; Klingberg, et al., 2005; Jaeggi et al., 2008; Holmes et al., 2009).”
Does working memory training generalize (2010, background): “Thus, the most telling results are those of Holmes et al. (2009) and Holmes, Gathercole, and Dunning (2009).”
Executive Functions (2012, neutral): “EF demands need to be continually incrementally increased or few gains are seen (Bergman Nutley et al. 2011, Holmes et al. 2009, Klingberg et al. 2005).”
Neuroeducation – A Critical Overview of An Emerging Field (2012, background): “Indeed, it has been shown that the training of working memory leads to increases in brain activation in fronto-parietal regions [48] and changes in performance not only on the tasks that participants were trained to perform but also on untrained working memory tasks [49].”
