The Flynn effect for verbal and visuospatial short-term and working memory: A cross-temporal meta-analysis

The Flynn effect for verbal and visuospatial short-term and working memory: A cross-temporal meta-analysis

The Flynn effect has been investigated extensively for IQ, but few attempts have been made to study it in relation to working memory (WM). Based on the findings from a cross-temporal meta-analysis using 1754 independent samples (n=139,677), the Flynn effect was observed across a 43-year period, with...

Zusammenfassung:The Flynn effect has been investigated extensively for IQ, but few attempts have been made to study it in relation to working memory (WM). Based on the findings from a cross-temporal meta-analysis using 1754 independent samples (n=139,677), the Flynn effect was observed across a 43-year period, with changes here expressed in terms of correlations (coefficients) between year of publication and mean memory test scores. Specifically, the Flynn effect was found for forward digit span (r=0.12, p
