Training planning and working memory in third graders
Working memory and planning are fundamental cognitive skills supporting fluid reasoning. We show that 2 games that train working memory and planning skills in school-aged children promote transfer to 2 different tasks: an attentional test and a fluid reasoning test. We also show long-term improvemen...

Working memory and planning are fundamental cognitive skills supporting fluid reasoning.
