其他摘要:The paper studies whether visuospatial working memory (VSWM) and, specifically, recall ofsequential-spatial information, can be improved by metacognitive training. Twenty-twofourth-grade children were involved in seven sessions of sequential-spatial memorytraining, while twenty-four children attended lessons given by their teacher. The posttrainingevaluation demonstrated a specific improvement of performances in the Corsiblocks task, considered a sequential-spatial working memory task. However, no benefits oftraining were observed in either a verbal working memory task or a simultaneous-spatialworking memory task. The results have important theoretical implications, in the study ofVSWM components, and educational implications, in catering for children with specificVSWM impairments.
