More generally, together with other research, the results contribute to disproving cognitive training companies promises of a better brain.The results have even more important im

51、plications theoretically. They question the hypothesis that training general cognitive mechanisms can affect other cognitive or real-life skills. Beyond working-memory training, other recent studies have shown the improving cognitive skills outside music-including academic skills.However, these nega

52、tive results must not discourage us from training our cognitive and non-cognitive skills. We just have to be aware of the actual limitations of such practice in areas outside what we are actually training. But that doesnt mean we shouldnt do it-the most efficient way to develop a skill is, after all
