What people are saying
The discussions reveal a cautious optimism about the research, with phrases like 'would be interested to see replications' and mentions of effects on mental health, demonstrating initial interest. Conversely, skepticism in statements like 'Huh. Hard to see how this would work' shows a critical tone, balancing the overall moderate engagement and impact scores.
The discussions show mixed reactions—some skepticism about the effectiveness and calls for replication, but also acknowledgment of the potential benefits highlighted in the publication.
Most comments express at least some curiosity, especially when mentioning the effects on anxiety and depression, though some remain uncertain.
Participants reference their own research experiences and discuss the possible implications, indicating a moderate level of thoughtful engagement.
The conversations reflect a tentative recognition of the study's importance, but some doubts about its immediate practical impact or replicability prevent a higher score.
Abstract in brief
- Adaptive working memory training, specifically using a dual n-back task, has been shown to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms in adolescents who do not clinically have these conditions.
- The study found that adolescents who trained on the adaptive task experienced significant decreases in self-reported anxiety and depression, and these improvements lasted at least one month after training.
- These results suggest that working memory training could be a promising strategy to lower the risk of developing internalizing disorders like anxiety and depression in youth, but further research is needed to confirm these findings.]
