To validate the efficacy of software for cognitive enhancement (i.e., so-called brain games), it is essential to show that practice with such software leads to improvement in activities of daily living and in school. This proposal examines how training with computer software that is designed to improve thinking and learning in young children affects performance on standardized tests and academic achievement. In particular, it will identify the particular characteristics of brain games that are most likely to lead to cognitive enhancement that generalizes to important academic and everyday tasks.

为了验证增强认知的软件(即所谓的脑力游戏)的有效性，必须证明使用这种软件的练习可以改善日常生活和学校活动。这项建议考察了使用旨在改善幼儿思维和学习的计算机软件培训如何影响标准化考试的表现和学业成绩。特别是，它将确定大脑游戏的特定特征，这些特征最有可能导致认知增强，从而概括为重要的学术和日常任务。
