- People who suffer from anxiety show deficits in working memory function. Working memory is a brain system that allows us to hold on to certain information and use it to guide our decisions and behavior. Scholars have found that working memory training has the potential to reduce anxiety https://www.psypost.org/2021/04/working-memory-training-has-the-potential-to-reduce-anxiety-60402 35 comments science
- ‘Brain Training’ May Boost Working Memory, But Not Intelligence "New research suggests that brain training programs might strengthen your ability to hold information in mind, but they won’t bring any benefits to the kind of intelligence that helps you reason and solve problems." http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/news/releases/brain-training-may-boost-working-memory-but-not-intelligence.html 4 comments science
