Sažetak
Studies showed great inconsistencies in working memory training effectiveness. Besides methodological reasons, a potential source of variation in reported effects may be individual differences among participants. While some individuals may show great gains, others may show little to no training improvement. Individual differences in cognitive training gains can indeed be predicted by a variety of factors, such as age, pre-intervention cognitive abilities or individual differences in personality. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate individual predictors of working memory training gains. Forty-two healthy middle-aged adults (49-65 years old) were randomly assigned into two groups: working memory training (n-back training) and active control group (communication skills training). A pretest-posttest design included twenty 20-minute sessions distributed over ten weeks. The Training group showed a significant gain in the criterion n-back task (F(1, 40) = 22.96 ; p < .001 ; ηρ² = .365). Mixed effects model analyses indicated that individual differences in age and fluid reasoning were significantly associated with training performance and gains. Participants with grater fluid reasoning showed better performance in the training (b = 0.25, SE = 0.099, p = .02). Consciousness and neuroticism were not significant predictor of training gains. Our findings call for a personalized and tailored approach to designing and implementing cognitive training interventions, especially considering differences in age and fluid reasoning.
