Effects of Forward and Backward Span Trainings on Working Memory: Evidence from a Randomized, Controlled Trial
EEG
This randomized controlled trial investigates the differential effects of forward and backward span training on working memory capacity. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded during a distractor version of the change detection task at pre-, mid-, and post-test timepoints, while behavioral measures were collected from additional cognitive tasks. The study demonstrates that both training types enhance working memory maintenance compared to control conditions, with backward span training providing superior benefits for interference control based on ERP indices.
