Abstract

Most cognitive training programs are adaptive, despite limited direct evidence that this maximizes children's outcomes. This randomized controlled trial evaluated working memory training with difficulty of activities presented using adaptive, self-select, or stepwise compared with an active control. At baseline, immediately, and 6-months post-intervention, 201 Australian primary school children (101 males, 7–11 years) completed working memory tests (near and intermediate transfer) and the Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices, and caregivers completed the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-Rating Scale-5 (far transfer). The intervention comprised ten 20-min sessions delivered in class. For each training condition, compared with the active control, there was no evidence of transfer immediately or 6-months post-intervention (negligible to small effects). This trial provides no evidence that adaptive working memory training maximizes children's outcomes.
儿童工作记忆训练需要适应性吗?随机对照试验
大多数认知训练计划都是适应性的,尽管只有有限的直接证据表明这能最大限度地提高儿童的学习效果。这项随机对照试验对工作记忆训练进行了评估,与主动对照组相比,活动难度采用了自适应、自选或逐步式。201 名澳大利亚小学生(101 名男生,7-11 岁)在基线期、干预期和干预后 6 个月分别完成了工作记忆测试(近程和中程迁移)和瑞文标准渐进矩阵,护理人员完成了注意力缺陷/多动障碍评分量表-5(远程迁移)。干预措施包括十次 20 分钟的课堂教学。在每种训练条件下,与积极对照组相比,没有证据表明干预后立即或 6 个月内发生了迁移(影响微乎其微)。这项试验没有提供证据表明适应性工作记忆训练能最大限度地提高儿童的成绩。
