What to train
Use spaced recall, chunking, and retrieval practice.
Specific practice transfers most strongly to similar tasks; broad-transfer claims need caution.
Exercises
Increase difficulty only when accuracy is stable.
- Recall a list after 30 seconds and five minutes.
- Group digits into chunks.
- Summarize without looking back.
- Produce flashcard answers before revealing.
Sustainable routine
Use brief regular sessions, adequate sleep, movement, and recovery.
Track accuracy and difficulty rather than expecting a guaranteed IQ increase.
