And I make a pitch for my app, IQ boost for iOS -> https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iq-boost/id286574399?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iq-boost/id286574399?mt=8
- natdempk 10y agoThis article actually points out that the IQ/fluid intelligence increase findings from the original Jaeggi paper about dual n-back failed to be replicated. > Finally, at the end of the study, we gave everyone different versions of the cognitive ability tests.
