Near Transfer vs Far Transfer: The Truth About Brain Games in the Classroom

New scientific research sheds light on what students can reasonably expect to gain from popular student brain training games. --- Hop On The Brain Train! Brain games and cognitive training programs -- both inside and outside of the classroom -- have become exceeding popular over the past decade. But do they actually work? Do they really help students boost their capacities to learn and perform? Or are they just glorified puzzles masquerading as brain enhancers? In this 'From Theory to Practice' video, I examine an interesting piece of research that helps us better understand what we should truly expect to gain when we engage with popular brain training programs. Near and Far Transfer in Cognitive Training: A Second-Order Meta-Analysis (Giovanni Sala et al, 2019) Here are some of the questions I tackle in this installment: -- Across most contexts, what is the key ingredient for effective learning? -- What is skill transfer, and how is this process impacted as we become more adept at any given skill? -- How well do popular working memory training programs (like Lumosity, Cogmed, etc.) actually support learning and skill transfer? -- What are three practical takeaways for teachers and academic leaders that we can draw from this meta-analysis? Give it a watch, and let me know what you think in the comments.
