OBJECTIVE To investigate the occurrence of transfer of cognitive strategy training for persons with acquired brain injury, and to investigate the way in which transfer is measured. METHODS Electronic searches in PubMed, PsychINFO, EMBASE and CINAHL using combinations of search terms in the following categories: type of brain injury, transfer, type of disorder, type of intervention. A total of...

Recent studies have reported improvements in a variety of cognitive functions following sole working memory (WM) training. In spite of the emergence of several successful training paradigms, the scope of transfer effects has remained mixed. This is most likely due to the heterogeneity of cognitive functions that have been measured and tasks that have been applied. In the present study, we appro...

The question of whether computerized cognitive training leads to generalized improvements of intellectual abilities has been a popular, yet contentious, topic within both the psychological and neurocognitive literatures. Evidence for the effective transfer of cognitive training to nontrained measures of cognitive abilities is mixed, with some studies showing apparent successful transfer, while ...

Objective: Computerized training for cognitive enhancement is of great public interest, however, there is inconsistent evidence for the transfer of training gains to every day activity. Several large trials have focused on speed of processing (SOP) training with some promising findings for long-term effects on daily activity, but no immediate transfer to other cognitive tests. Here, we examine ...

runoff is one of the major components of calculating water resource processes and is the main issue in hydrology. many concept models are used to predict the amount of runoff, which in most cases depend on topographical and hydrological data. conventional models are not appropriate for areas in which there is little hydrological data. changes in runoff are nonlinear, meaning it is time & space ...

The work organisation can build the capacity of workers to deal with work related issues by developing and implementing formal training policies and programs. However, unless these programs also include strategies to develop coworker support for the training content and objectives, effective training transfer will fail to occur. To examine the implications of workplace differences on training t...

Multitask Learning is an inductive transfer method that improves generalization by using domain information implicit in the training signals of related tasks as an inductive bias. It does this by learning multiple tasks in parallel using a shared representation. Mul-titask transfer in connectionist nets has already been proven. But questions remain about how often training data for useful extra...
