Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
model-based WM training
In order to build the model-based WM training, existing tasks used to assess the different component of the Baddeley's model will be reviewed on their findings according to test-retest reliability and construct validity. For each component - phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, episodic buffer and central executive - the task with the highest reliability and validity will be chosen and then build the basis for the computerized training program. This procedure results in a model-based, adaptive, computerized training program for WM.
model-based WM training
model-based WM training program: four sessions a week, 45 minutes each; lasting for three weeks
single-task WM training
The basis for the single-task training administered to the second group will be the widely used "dual-n-back training paradigm" suggested by Jaeggi et al. (2008). A complex dual n-back task including a visual and an auditory WM task will be implemented for tablet devices.
single-task WM training
single-task WM training program: four sessions a week, 45 minutes each; lasting for three weeks
multiple-task WM training
Verbal WM tasks - particularly letter span and digit span tasks - and a visuospatial WM task are most commonly used (e.g. Dahlin et al., 2008; Klingberg et al., 2005; Westerberg et al., 2007). Therefore, a multiple-task training including these tasks will be administered to the third group.
multiple-task WM training
multiple-task WM training program: four sessions a week, 45 minutes each; lasting for three weeks
sham intervention
Active control group that as well performs a training, however not based on WM. To exclude the involvement of WM, a motor training will be administered to the control group.
sham intervention
motor training program: four sessions a week, 45 minutes each; lasting for three weeks
