As reported in two articles, the study showed increases in memory and attention in students diagnosed with reading difficulties. The experimental group showed training effects on non-trained tests as well as transfer effect to visual-auditory sustained attention, visual-auditory vigilance/speed, and hyperactivity after training, providing further evidence for shared processes between working memory, attention and reading.
