A randomized trial was conducted by Rabiner et al. (2010) to examine the effectiveness of two computer-based interventions for students with attention difficulties – the Captain’s Log system and Destination Reading. Seventy-seven first graders from five low-SES public schools in the southeastern United States were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: Captain’s Log (n=25), Destination Reading (n=27), and control (n=25). Participants were well matched on pretests and demographics. Students in the Captain’s Log group scored significantly higher than both the controls and the Destination Reading group on reading outcomes measures. Results of this study show initial support for generalization of cognitive enhancement to academic skills in the classroom. Click here for the full study
