智力培训是否有效？（A no trainer?）
Putting brain training to the test
虽然公众每年花费数百万英镑用于各种各样的“脑培训”计划，但这些培训计划的功效和表现却仍不清楚。Adrian Owen及其同事与BBC的系列科学节目“Bang Goes The Theory”合作，对各种不同网上培训计划进行了一项为期6星期的试验。虽然他们观察到在培训所用的特定任务上有进步，但本文作者们得出结论认为，任何进步都未能转移到其他未培训的认知任务。（Letter p. 775）

Millions of pounds per year are spent on various 'brain-training' programs; however, the efficacy and performance of these training regimes is still unclear. In collaboration with the BBC, a six-week online study of brain training was conducted. Although improvements were observed in the specific tasks used for training, in the authors' view there was no evidence that these improvements transferred to other untrained cognitive tasks.
