Effects Of Working Memory Training On Fluid Intelligence In Poor Students In High School

The purpose of this study is to use the double N-back paradigm to investigate the impact of working memory training on the fluid intelligence of students with learning difficulties.Specifically explore the difference in the effects of training on the fluid intelligence of students with learning difficulties and the students with academic excellence.If Both the inference and visual dimensions have been improved and which specific dimensions of fluid intelligence that increase the most.A total of 44 first-year the students with learning difficulties and the students with academic excellence were selected for experiences in the study.Participants in the experimental group participated in the dual N-back 7 back training of the experimental task and four pre-tests and post-test tasks(Raven standard reasoning test,simple digital span task test,complex digital span task test,Visual space working memory task test).Participants in the first control group performed low-dose 2 back training,four pre-tests and post-test tasks.The students in the second control group did not perform any training and only participated in the pre-tests and post-test tasks.The results showed that:(1)The scores of post-test tasks for students with learning difficulties are significantly higher than those of pre-test tasks.(2)The post-test scores of the students with academic excellence on the complex digital span tasks were significantly higher than their pre-test scores.(3)The post-test scores of the simple digital span tasks for students with learning difficulties improved the most.(4)The post-test scores of the top students on the complex digital span tasks improved most than their pre-test scores.The conclusion of this study is:(1)Through the 4-week dual N-back working memory training,the fluid intelligence of students with learning difficulties has been significantly improved.(2)Through the double N-back training,the reasoning ability and visual ability of the students with learning difficulties were significantly improved.(3)Through the comparison of students with learning difficulties and students with learning excellence,double N-back training has an effect on the improvement of fluid intelligence of students with learning disabilities and students with learning excellence.And the improvement of fluid intelligence of students with learning difficulties is significantly higher than that of students with learning excellence(4)In terms of improving fluid intelligence in high school students,double N-back training has the greatest impact on inference ability.Students with learning difficulties are reflected in simple digital span tasks,and students with excellent learning are reflected in complex digital span tasks.
