The Effect Of Training Working Memory And Attention On Pupils’ Fluid Intelligence, C J Zhong 2012, Master's thesis.
Can't seem to find the author anywhere to contact, and there's no obvious way to get it via UWash; supposedly you can order it from that site but I'm not sure I care $25 worth. (The abstract indicates that it used no-contact control groups, so the observation of increased IQ isn't that interesting: it's what the current literature predicts.)
Can be viewed at: http://www.doc88.com/p-397166703921.html
(It's in Chinese.)
Oh, thanks. I guess now it's time to start guessing what each table is...
How did you find that? Is my Google-fu weak or did you just know that Chinese theses could usually be found on
doc88.com, whatever that is?Nothing wrong with your Google-fu – I just searched for the article title in Chinese (found the Chinese title through the third English result; my rudimentary understanding of Chinese helped a little since the position of the title is not obvious on that page).
I just had a brief look at the tables and tried to translate them, but it turns out that my Chinese sucks too much... My lack of familiarity with n-back studies doesn't help. I can probably help translate very short phrases, but I'm not really able to understand the context.
I have partial translations of a number of points: http://groups.google.com/d/msg/brain-training/V_msD2vUjy4/3JN9Vj636K0J
What I could really use now is info on the division of the kids into the various experimental & control groups - I'd prefer not to assume the division was just equal...
