In the COGITO study (Schmiedek, Lövdén, & Lindenberger, 2010), 101 younger adults practiced 12 tests of perceptual speed, working memory, and episodic memory for over 100 daily 1-hr sessions. The intervention resulted in positive transfer to broad cognitive abilities, including reasoning and episodic memory. Here, we examine whether these ability-based transfer effects are maintained over time. Two years after the end of the training, 80 participants returned for follow-up assessments of the comprehensive battery of transfer tasks. We found reliable positive long-term transfer effects for reasoning and episodic memory, controlling for retest effects by including participants from the original control group. This shows, for the first time, that intensive cognitive training interventions can have long-term broad transfer at the level of cognitive abilities.
在“COGITO研究”（施密德克、勒夫登和林登伯格，2010年）中，101名年轻人针对感知速度、工作记忆和情景记忆进行了12项测试，每天进行1小时，持续100多天。该干预措施对包括推理和情景记忆在内的广泛认知能力产生了积极的迁移效果。在此，我们研究这些基于能力的迁移效果是否能随时间保持。训练结束两年后，80名参与者返回接受全面迁移任务组的后续评估。我们发现推理和情景记忆存在可靠的长期积极迁移效果，通过纳入原始对照组的参与者来控制重测效应。这首次表明，强化认知训练干预在认知能力层面可产生长期广泛的迁移效果。
