Description

A computerized, self-paced training program delivered on tablet computers in which children completed paired-associates memory learning tasks (learning, delay, recognition, monitoring, and feedback phases) across 12 sessions. The article describes it as "a computerized method that is modern, economical in terms of human resources, and allows upscaling." Feedback was delivered visually (green tick, red cross) and auditorily depending on condition; the active control group completed a Hearts and Flowers executive function task instead.
