Dual-n-back training does give a modest effect, as does exercise (and particularly cerebellar targetted exercise).

Could you expand on that? I had not heard that exercise actually affected Gf or that there was such a thing on cerebellar-targeted exercise. I know of occasional results like the prefrontal cortex's cells enlarging after aerobic exercise, but that's not an increase in Gf.
