- The Neuroscience of Intelligence (2016, background): “Another comprehensive independent meta-analysis of 47 studies concluded that there were no sustainable transfer effects for memory training (Schwaighofer et al., 2015), although the authors encouraged more research with better study designs.”
- Working Memory Training Does Not Improve Performance on Measures of Intelligence or Other Measures of “Far Transfer”: Evidence from a Meta-Analytic Review (2016, unknown): “These findings of small immediate effects with no reliable effects at follow-up have also been replicated by Schwaighofer, Fischer, and Buhner (2015).”
- Working memory and language learning: A review (2017, background): “…Recently, direct training of working memory has come under considerable scrutiny with the publication of several meta-analyses reporting consistent post-training effects in near transfer to similar tasks only (e.g. Melby-Lervåg and Hulme, 2013; Schwaighofer et al., 2015; but see Au et al., 2015).”
