Re: Triple Nback benefits

Judging from the articles listed below, there is most certainly a
strong relationship:

(2010) Title: Are Representations in Working Memory Distinct From
Representations in Long-Term Memory? : Neural Evidence in Support of a
Single Store
Link to abstract - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20624934

(2009) Title: On the division of working memory and long-term memory
and their relation to intelligence: A latent variable approach.
Link to abstract - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20022311

(2010) Title: Domain-general mechanisms of complex working memory span
Link to abstract - http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811910010591

I believe the last title has already been added to the groups files,
let me know if you would like me to send you any of the other
articles.
