Is the link from working memory to analogy causal? No analogy improvements following working memory training gains. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Analogical reasoning has been hypothesized to critically depend upon working memory through correlational data, but less work has tested this relationship through experimental manipulation.

Experimental investigation of training schedule on home-based working memory training in healthy older adults [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 IntroductionThe efficacy of working memory training (WMT) for cognitive enhancement in healthy older adults has been extensively investigated. Typically, WMT results in improved performance on the training task, but limited or no transfer of improvement ...
