Re: Title: Working Memory Training in Older Adults: Evidence of Transfer and Maintenance Effects (8 month follow up)

very well..........it could be sleep, it could be some leap, who
knows..........

but to go from not even being able to do dnb5 to 80s and higher to me
is most unusual, and may not be explained simply by 'a
leap'.........however, i will remain open-minded rather than
dismissive, as that has bitten me in the arse in the past.......

:)

there probably is no substitute for experience as a teacher........
