Improving fluid intelligence with training on working memory (2008, neutral): “There are, indeed, some studies showing that training on working memory with young healthy adults may lead to effects that go beyond a specific training effect (28, 29).”
Working Memory and Academic Learning: Assessment and Intervention (2008, background): “Studies have found computerized working memory training to increase working memory capacity and bring about changes in associated brain activity (Klingberg et al., 2002; Klingberg et al., 2005; Olesen et al., 2004).”
Contributions of Attentional Control to Socioemotional and Academic Development (2010, background): “The Klingberg group has also shown evidence that training produces changes at various levels of brain function, such as activation ( Olesen, Westerberg, & Klingberg, 2004 ), and in the density of dopamine receptors (McNab et al, 2009) of areas of the cerebral cortex involved in the trained function.”
The correlative triad among aging, dopamine, and cognition: current status and future prospects. (2006, background): “Further support for this notion comes from findings that trainingrelated increases in working-memory capacity correlate with increased activity in the DLPFC (Olesen et al., 2004).”
Imaging the developing brain: what have we learned about cognitive development? (2005, neutral): “[49, 50 ]). Across these studies, the pattern of results shows that activity in task-relevant regions becomes increasingly enhanced with training, whereas task-irrelevant regions become less activated over time [50].”
Effects of Physical Activity on Children’s Executive Function: Contributions of Experimental Research on Aerobic Exercise (2010, result): “Second, the computer training not only improved performance on the trained games but also transferred to novel EF tasks, including inhibition tasks (Klingberg et al., 2002, 2005; Olesen et al., 2004), and working memory tasks (Thorell et al., 2008).”
