Executive functions blues: Updating and inhibition training in older adults.
Abstract
-back performance predicted initial success in updating training, while baseline Picture-Word scores predicted initial success in inhibition training. Group membership predicted the rate of progress in inhibition training. Overall, findings suggest limited transfer effects from EF training to untrained domains and emphasize the role of individual characteristics and task-specific factors in determining training success. The study contributes to a more cautious understanding of EF training, demonstrating modest gains specific to certain EF components and identifying key individual and task-related predictors of training outcomes.
