Abstract: 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. (DIPF/Autor)
