36、king Memory Make You Smarter?We would all like to increase our cognitive（认 知 的）ability beyond the limits set by Mother Nature.So ifs no wonderthat brain-training programmeswhich typically focus on training our working memoryare a multibillion-dollarindustry.But can this kind of training really make

37、us smarter?Cognitive training sees the brain as a kind of muscle that can be made stronger with the right kind of practice.Itconsists of tasks or games carried out on computers or smart phones.Despite much research,there has so far been noagreement about its effectiveness.Some think that cognitive t

43、 programs as an educational tool is fruitless.Moregenerally,together with other research,the results contribute to disproving cognitive training companies promises of abetter brain.The results have even more important implications theoretically.They question the hypothesis that training generalcogni

44、tive mechanisms can affect other cognitive or real-life skills.Beyond working-memory training,other recentstudies have shown the improving cognitive skills outside music-including academic skills.However,these negative results must not discourage us from training our cognitive and non-cognitive skil

45、ls.We justhave to be aware of the actual limitations of such practice in areas outside what we are actually training.But thatdoesnt mean we shouldnt do it-the most efficient way to develop a skill is,after all,to train that skill.1、To find out the effect of working memory training,the a u t h o r A.
