DOI: 10.1186/s40359-025-03075-3
Abstract: Executive functions (EF) are cognitive processes that support goal-directed behaviors that are essential for children’s academic success, predicting school performance more strongly than IQ. However, intervention studies report mixed findings regarding the causal far-transfer effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s41235-024-00598-y
Abstract: Benefits of self-testing for learning have been consistently shown for simple materials such as word lists learned by rote memorization. Considerably less evidence for such benefits exists for complex, more educationally relevant materials and its… read more here.
