The Efficacy of the LearningRx Cognitive Training Program: Modality and Transfer Effects
322 middle-school students in Study 1; 225 high-school students in Study 2
What Did Researchers Study?
Two trials examined one-on-one LearningRx cognitive training and a computer-based version in laboratory and school settings.
What Did Researchers Find?
Study 1 reported significant gains across cognitive measures and math performance after three weeks of computer-based training. Study 2 reported higher scores for treatment groups than controls on working memory, logic and reasoning, and several math-attitude measures.
The two trials used different designs and settings; findings should be interpreted separately.
