Abstract:V zadnjih nekaj letih se v psihološki literaturi pogosto objavljajo študije, ki nakazujejo, da lahko s treningom delovnega spomina izboljšamo dosežke na netreniranih nalogah, ki merijo višje kognitivne sposobnosti; rezultati različnih študij pa ostajajo nekonsistentni. Namen raziskave za magistrsko nalogo je bil preveriti, ali lahko s treningom delovnega spomina vplivamo na povečanje obsega kratkoročnega spomina in na povišanje točk na testu fluidne inteligentnosti. Končni vzorec je sestavljajo 29 udeležencev, starih med 13 in 15 let. Od tega jih je bilo 14 v eksperimentalni in 15 v kontrolni skupini. Eksperimentalna skupina je v obdobju dveh tednov končala serijo desetih adaptivnih treningov delovnega spomina, ki so temeljili na dual n-nazaj nalogi. Kontrolna skupina je bila pasivna in v vmesnem času ni opravljala nobenega treninga. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da so vsi udeleženci eksperimentalne skupine izboljšali svoj rezultat na trenirani nalogi dual n-nazaj. Statistično pomembnega učinka treninga eksperimentalne skupine na mero obsega števil in obsega vizualno prostorskega spomina v primerjavi z dosežki kontrolne skupine ni bilo, je pa eksperimentalna skupina v primerjavi s kontrolno skupino pridobila več na meri fluidne inteligentnosti. Ugotovitve raziskave kažejo na pomembnost preiskovanja dejavnikov učinkovitosti prenosa učinkov treningov delovnega spomina v prihodnjih raziskavah.

Title:THE EFFECT OF WORKING MEMORY TRAINING ON COGNITIVE ABILITIES
Abstract:In the last few years, there is a growing evidence in psychological literature indicating that working memory training could serve as a useful tool to improve performance on non-trained tasks that measure higher cognitive abilities; however, results of different studies remain inconsistent. The aim of the present master thesis was to discover whether working memory training could improve short-term memory capacity and increase test scores on test of fluid intelligence in normal developing children. Final sample consisted of 29 participants, between 13 to 15 years old; 14 of them were in experimental group, 15 was controls. Experimental group completed series of ten working memory trainings, based on adaptive dual n-back task. Control group was passive and did not do any training in the meantime. Results of our study showed that all participants in experimental group improved their performance on trained task. There was no statistically significant effect of experimental group on measures of digit span and visuospatial memory span before and after training, when comparing with performance of control group. However, experimental group improved more on measure of fluid intelligence compared with control group. Finding of our study suggest the importance of investigating factors associated with effectiveness of working memory training in future research.
