Re: Jaeggi 2010 in the news

Am I defending a flawed study? This study which I believe I called the 20-min version RAPM is proof of what Moody is claiming is wrong. Probably paid by the brain training Illuminati of course. I think it's funny that you have these "nerd neurotic" almost aspberger-like raged resistance as soon as I hit your sensitive spot, the fact that you censorship results that do not match your rather narrow "nerd neurotic keyhole".

You're seriously trying to defend such a flawed study. I can barely
believe it. This, among other things, is why I don't pay much
attention to you. (There's a lot of worthless discussion on this ML,
and I use the mute button liberally.)

Yes, you've posted a bunch of research of questionable relevance, all
of which that I bothered to read was about correlations - correlations
existing *before* any intervention like dual n-back. Which is exactly
what I've never contested, and adds nothing to the question of whether
dual n-back increases IQ or just speed on BOMAT/RAPM, and your belief
that they prove it is sheer question-begging. I have said all this
before.
