- No evidence of intelligence improvement after working memory training: A randomized, placebo-controlled study. (2012) · doi
Many published working memory training studies suffer from design limitations (no-contact control groups, single measures of cognitive constructs), mixed results (transfer of training gains to some tasks but not others, inconsistent transfer to the same tasks across studies), and lack of theoretical grounding (identifying the mechanisms responsible for observed transfer).

It has been suggested that diverse interventions applied within children’s everyday contexts have the potential to improve working memory (WM) and produce transfer to real-world skills but little is known about the effectiveness of these approaches.

The review also found that the evidence that working memory training leads to improvements in other areas such as literacy and numeracy is inconclusive at best, and that further research will be required for us to better understand the mechanism through which working memory training may improve working memory and academic performance in children.

Concerning the free recall task, it is argued that participant selection may account for contradictory findings and that differences in task timing are so pronounced that the different studies may actually assess different memory skills.

Although many accounts of task switching emphasize the importance of working memory as a substantial source of the switch cost, there is a lack of evidence demonstrating that task switching actually places additional demands on working memory.
