Interventions targeting working memory in 4–11\u202fyear olds within their everyday contexts: A systematic review
Abstract
Highlights • Non-computerised training can improve working memory and near-transfer skills.• Training other skills (physical activity, play, inhibition) is beneficial indirectly.• Tapping into attentional resources (executive control) is key to task effectiveness.• Further studies need clear theoretical underpinnings and rigorous methodology.• Outcome measurement and dosage need greater consideration.
