Even if they did improve on the Stroop test, you would have to have another
dependent variable (at least one) to ascertain that you were improving memory
(or any aspect of cognition) rather than merely improving performance on the
Stroop test.

You are referring to the transfer of learning here.I assume that any increase
in managing life skills such as normal household responsibilitiss could be
considered
significant.It is possible that training in one task could impact other
tasks.After all transfer of training is more than going from one stroop test to
another stroop test.The crutical element,it seems to me,is to strenghen
"attention" and to "self-correct".and this a worthy cognitive and life skill
objective.
