Brain training programs improve students' learning in school subjects.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that brain training programs improve students' learning in school subjects?

Partly. Evidence is mixed and only partial: a meta-analysis of commercial brain-training programs in older adults found insufficient evidence of broad cognitive benefit, and a review of brain-training studies found gains largely limited to trained tasks, while one small quasi-experiment reported higher grades after a neurofeedback program and a review of computerized training reported working-memory and reading gains for students with disabilities.
