The Efficacy of the LearningRx Cognitive Training Program: Modality & Transfer Effects
Abstract: This study tested the efficacy of a one-on-one cognitive training program (ThinkRx) and
a digital training program in laboratory and school settings. In a randomized controlled study, 225
high school students were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: ThinkRx, digital training, or
study hall (control) in a school setting for a 15-week training period. Univariate ANCOVAs revealed
significantly higher scores for the treatment groups compared with controls on working memory,
logic and reasoning, and three of four math attitude measures but not for math performance.
However, because the intervention did not include the MathRx program, the results are as expected.
