• Distinct transfer effects of training different facets of working memory capacity (2013, result): “There are multiple possible reasons for the inconsistency in previous findings (cf. Conway & Getz, 2010 ; Moody, 2009 ; Shipstead, Redick, & Engle, 2012 ).”
• Does working memory training work? The promise and challenges of enhancing cognition by training working memory (2011, background): “Unsurprisingly, these incongruous findings have raised a debate in the literature; some authors stress cautious interpretation of positive transfer results (Conway & Getz, 2010; Moody, 2009 ), while others are more optimistic about the implications of successful transfer (Klingberg, 2010; Perrig et”
• The Neuroscience of Intelligence (2016, background): “The first devastating critique came quickly (Moody, 2009).”
• Does working memory training generalize (2010, background): “The previously discussed criticism that experience with adaptive-WM tasks may train non-Gf aspects of matrix tasks was initially formulated by Moody (2009) in response to Jaeggi et al. (2008) and particularly references a decision by the authors to only allow 10 minutes for performance of the…”
• Working memory training does not improve intelligence in healthy young adults (2012, background): “(2008) study were not given the opportunity to attempt the more difficult questions because the researchers essentially removed the progressive nature of the tests by reducing the allotted time to take the test from 45 min to 10 min (Moody, 2009).”
• Is working memory training effective? (2012, methodology): “Instead , it can be parsimoniously concluded that training has influenced something that is specific to performing Ravens, but not necessarily applicable to other reasoning contexts (Carroll, 1993; Jensen, 1998; Moody, 2009; Schmiedek et al., 2010; te Nijenhuis, van Vianen, & van der Flier, 2007).”
