Abstract: training one executive-function component in children gave near transfer g+ = 0.44 (k = 43) but no convincing transfer to untrained components, g+ = 0.11 (k = 17, p = .11). Age range not stated in the abstract; far transfer here is to other executive functions, not academic outcomes. Closed from the box.
