Are Memory Training Programs Truly Effective: What Does the Research Say?

Research finds different results when it comes to memory training programs.

Here’s what some studies show:

  • A study from 2018 looked at many results and found that these programs helped a little. They reported an average score of d=0.25d = 0.25, which means a small to moderate boost in memory.

  • Some programs, like Dual N-Back, helped people improve by about 20% on working memory tasks.

  • But, there’s a catch: 85% of studies say these programs don’t help much with everyday memory tasks. This makes us wonder if they really work in real life.
