- Bartweiss 9y agoMine also. This article implied they did see generalization, at least to other working memory tests - but I can't find the full text to check what they used.
- arkades 9y agoThe only paper I’ve seen so far with any generalization used timing feedback to incentivize closer attention. Generalized Outcomes were believed to be due to improved executive function/attentiveness, not memory, which is what the time pressure aimed for.
