Does Training Working Memory or Inhibitory Control Produce Far-Transfer Improvements in Set Shifting for Children with ADHD? A Randomized Controlled Trial

Inhibitory control training was superior to central executive training for improving set shifting accuracy in children with ADHD, with a medium-to-large treatment-by-time interaction and ICT producing

Effect: improvement; d = 0.63

Inhibitory control training produced significant improvements in set shifting speed on the Global-Local task, though this finding should be considered tentative given the non-significant omnibus treat

Effect: improvement; d = 0.59

Central executive training (working memory training) did not produce improvements in set shifting accuracy on either the Global-Local or Number-Color task, with Bayesian evidence supporting the null h

Effect: null

Central executive training did not produce improvements in set shifting speed on either task, with Bayesian evidence supporting the null hypothesis.

Effect: null

Central executive training produced non-specific improvements in overall response speed on the Number-Color task, with similar improvements on both shift trials and non-shift trials, suggesting workin

Effect: improvement; d = 0.70

Speed-accuracy tradeoffs cannot account for the differential effects of ICT vs CET on set shifting, as the inverse efficiency score analysis showed no evidence for treatment effects or treatment-by-ti

Effect: null
